Frozen Crap coming out of the Sky
What is THIS!?!
Its sleeting lightly outside. Is this awesome to commute in?
yes/no?
I'm very conflicted sitting here with keys in one hand while looking at my rain cape and bike with fenders.

"Awesome" isn't a word I'd use to describe it. I'd still commute through it, but "awesome" it is not.

I commuted in that stuff. It was more fun than a bag of hammers to the head.

Ride. The hardest part is getting out the front door. Plus, the sleet just bounced off my clothes this morning in NYC and I didn't get (very) wet.

It must be my fault! I put the studded tires on my back up MTB yesterday.
We had rain in the Philly area, but none of that schleet!

True, I didn't get wet either. The worst part was that it was quite windy and the sleet hitting my face was very unpleasant.
