Then they came back a second time and scraped the side streets right to the curbs! So even though it was a bad storm, the effect was fairly minimal. Riding is no problem now, other than the bad visibility caused by the big snow berms along the roadsides.
This is unusually warm weather for January where it rarely gets above freezing and the forecast is calling for double digits and above freezing temps for the nest week... one might think this was a sign of global warming.
