It was dry at 8:00 this morning when I left home. I worked with a personal training client until 10:00 in the gym and then it was raining, so I decided to stick around and work out on my own and see if it would stop raining. This stretched into two hours somehow (clean shrugs, pressing and deadlifting all require rest in between sets, that's how). I got all my scooter gear on, opened the door and it was snowing. But not sticking.
The gym is close to the ship canal, not much above sea level. Getting to our neighborhood takes me down about five miles of streets that stick pretty close to the water, until the last two miles, when I head straight up a long slow incline. The higher we got the more snow was sticking to the grass and a little bit on the street.
The roads were mainly just wet, but my helmet visor was accumulating snow on the outside and fogging on the inside. I had to ride with it half open, which caused the snowflakes to feel like tiny blades at 35 mph. I took some slow side streets and finally made it home.
