Snow!

It snowed a lot in Chicago today. I learned a few things

• Cycling on snow is actually not that bad...
• ...as long as the snow doesn't do anything to your bike...
• ...such as it melting and making your seat wet...
• ...or melting and freezing again to form a, shall we say, "icing" for your seat...
• ...or freezing on your brakes so there's no friction at all.

I rode my bike to the computer lab, and was forced to walk it back because by the time I left, it had turned to hailing. The last two bullet points actually happened to me.

On the other hand, it snowed! So I can't complain.
