Woke up to 3 inches of fresh snow. Roads are slushy but the Saturn braved on.

Speaking of snow, I did have the local small engine place take a look at the snowblower. They confirmed the problem is the carburetor. They have to order the rebuild kit so it won't be ready for a week.

Looks okay to me.

Mrs datlas and I do a lot of trail walking and we have also noticed a big increase in dog poop-bags lying at the side of the trail. Honestly, I would rather someone just flick the poop into the underbrush to decompose rather than bag it for eternity and sit there. I don't get it.

Where are the lines? Where is the traffic?

calling for freezing rain here today and tonight. Getting to work is about to get interesting.

Going to be a pretty disgusting week and a half.

Hey bampilot06 did you have any luck selling your Spector & Eden?

I was playing bass last night and found myself wholly unsatisfied with my tone so I'm thinking that my whole bass rig might be on the chopping block, not just my 2x12 cabinet.

Raining here. No freezing. #QuasiNorth

rjones28 

Exactly.

Snowing here. #ActualNorth

WhyFi

It happens. Having the awareness to recognize it is a good start, though.

Velo Vol 

It's an abandon road. Doesn't count.

rjones28 

Roads without lines are the best.

The wife has been frustrated with her mom, lately. Some time back, mother-in-law's GP informed their patients that they were unsure when, or even if, they'd receive vaccines to administer, and they advised that all should fill out the necessary online forms to get in queue for state disbursed immunizations. Instead, mother- and brother-in-law sat on their hands, assuming their GP would get it eventually.

My wife hadn't heard anything about this until her friend, who is from VA, informed my wife that her parents, who are younger and in better health than my mother-in-law, had already received their first round of immunizations. That news pissed off my wife - she'd been telling her mom that we'd like to visit her, but wouldn't do so until she'd been immunized (and there were no travel restrictions). Anyway, she finally got them signed up, but now there's a 3-4 week wait just to review the applications. There was some hope of squeezing out there over my son's spring break, but it's hard to say if she'll make that window, now.

An invitation to chaos.

It’s supposed to snow this weekend here and be really cold Saturday. I’m going to layer up and go play on my new bike regardless, I pick it up in 2 hours.

Tried running this morning for the first time in a while just to do something different. Was better than expected with splits of 9:07 (bit of a walking warm up), 7:33 and 7:06. Felt good to run and not have any hip pain, I miss it sometimes.

wut is happening

WhyFi

I approve of pics with bikes and green stuff.

Is this some TX-drivers-don't-know-how-to-drive-on-icy-roads kind of thing? That's like the pile-ups that I'm used to hearing about in Williamsburg.

How about community service? Spend a day picking up poop all over the neighborhood as punishment.

MoAlpha

I don’t know how to drive in sudden freezing rain either.

Velo Vol 

Does anyone know how to drive on ice?

WhyFi

Step 1) slow down

This is most often ignored, though.

WhyFi

Some better than others. You should watch Ice Road Truckers (or whatever the show is called) and take notes so that you're prepared for whatever your endless winter throws at you.

Without touching the brake or attempting to steer.

I once crashed 10 seconds after liquid rain hit my windshield and the road surface went from dry to zero-friction. I got out of the car and immediately fell.
