Road my bike to work today and it had just started to snow as I was coming into Fennimore. At 2 p.m. nature was telling me it would be an interesting ride home.

Left right at four and started the ride home. The ride started out very nice; not slippery, cold, but not to wet and my new shell was working great. Just out of town it started snowing much harder until there was about a quarter mile visibility. Sounds were very muffled from the snow and the sky was a beautiful gray with yellow and steal blue highlights. My sunglasses were doing a good job keeping the snow and slush out of my eyes.

In Wisconsin you never know what type of weather you are going to get. One morning I woke to find that fog had enveloped our fair town of Lancaster and there was no way I was going to be able to bike to work. When I went out on the porch where I keep my bike another surprise awaited me. The fog had left ice crystals everywhere, including on my bike. It looked beautiful, but I did have to clean my bike again.
