a wee bit of snow in the last 24 hours. our front street looks like a ski hill, with a trench carved down the middle for traffic.

this photo actually has exposure and saturation cranked UP. I left the bike at home today, as we were scheduled to receive a Category 4 Shitstorm Event this morning. Right on schedule.

blizzard ride
Another strong cold front blew into the city today. Wind gusts over 70km/h. Snow. Blowing snow. Ice obscured by snow and blowing snow. It was a fun ride home. The studded tires worked great, too – only lost traction momentarily twice, and didn’t go down at all. Good ride!
whiteness falls
the snow isn’t really visible here, but it’s been falling steadily all afternoon. the roads are still covered in ice, but now it’ll be hard to see it. it’ll be an interesting ride home.
idle shoes
no bike ride today. my shimano shoes will be sitting idle until monday.
2009/11/28: Blue suede, hiking, sneakers, and pumps. If only shoes could talk. Tell their story in a photo, either on or off someone. #ds13
home safe
it was one heck of an interesting ride home. the snow and ice got worse as I got closer to home – the road into my community was a skating rink, with cars piled up all along it. my snow tires handled it all beautifully, though 🙂
snow dogs allowed
an autumn snowfall turned northwest calgary into a wintery scene. a couple of cm fell (piling up a few inches in places) and it started melted very quickly, making for a sloppy mess.
choice
Cars slowly crawling along Crowchild Trail, which was backed up bumper-to-bumper all the way from Stoney Trail (nearly at the NW city limits) all the way into downtown. Neither the bus nor train were very crowded this morning. The people of Calgary have chosen cars above all else.
unfun
the cold isn’t bad. the wind just makes for a better workout. but the ice? no fun at all.
christmas in october
waves of snow move through the city – this was during a lull between pockets of intense snow. thankfully, it has all melted on contact with the ground. so far…
