I am always excited to ride in the first snow but wasn’t expecting it for another month.

I told the kids not to expect a snow day. I was wrong.



It is still piling up.

Bike paths are quick to disappear when it snows. I’ve transitioned to slower sidewalk riding.

Skiers made a mess of my trail. Rude. Almost impossible to ride now.

Instead of the usual quick melt we’ve gone straight to a deep freeze, keeping our record November snowfall around a bit longer.

I love the fire mist, cold be damned.


I have to wade through snow in dress shoes for a backlit frost picture so you’d better love it.

“I need to prove I’m not the only crazy one,” I say as he passes.
“These conditions are terrible,” he answers.
“Oh, but it’s beautiful,” I call after him.


I am glad the ski ruts have been smoothed out.




Wautumn? I’m not sure what to call this season. I hope we get a chance to rake up our leaves.



It sure is great to ride this way each day.

Bumpy ice: not my favorite thing but no less the best way to get to work.
