brief commute report

The commute to work this morning was not pleasant, in any conventional sense. Persistent headwinds drove a mix of snow, rain, and ice pellets into my face, rendering my cheeks numb and raw—but except for my face I was unpleasantly warm, since winter is broken here and the temperature was actually well above freezing. My coat is almost waterproof, but my gloves aren't at all, so with the sweat I was feeling damp from inside and out. There was just enough snow on the path for me to feel a drag and remember how slow winter cycling can sometimes be.

All in all, it was great fun!
