treacherous

The most dangerous stretch of my commute, by far (not counting dealing with cars). The snow wasn’t cleared, and was left in giant drifts on each side of the sidewalk/pathway. It hit +13˚C yesterday, so most of it melted, only to freeze overnight. Slick. Hard. Sharp. Dangerous. I wiped out on this spot. Thankfully, I wasn’t going very fast (but I did have to duck my head, so it didn’t smash one of the cement pillars). Fun times.

hopefully this crap starts to melt soon. -25˚šC this morning, but heading up over the freezing mark on the weekend…

I prefer this version, with the uncorrected nasty sodium light, rather than the corrected pure white version.

2010/01/07: It’s winter time here in the northern hemisphere. Make a photo with snow, frost, or ice as the theme today. (@remilongva) #ds53
