How is your winter biking coming along? [View all]

In Johnstown PA, we have been below Zero three times in the last week, one time the high was -1. That is extremely cold for Johnstown. We have no where near the snow of New England about six to eight inches on the ground. When this cold snap hit, we had a light snow, then light rain then more snow. Not enough rain to melt the snow, just the right amount to freeze up into a two inch ice sheet. This melted during the one day temperature went over freezing, then temperature dropped back to Zero.

Anyway, I have been biking in this weather. My Automobile was in the shop and took them a week to get it done. Thus I ended up biking to and from work all week.

Fortunity I put on my studded tires last month, so when I went out I actually had traction on the packed snow and ice. After three to four days of packed snow on the main roads, the city finally had them clear today (side roads are still packed snow, another example of Johnstown Snow Removal Policy "Spring is around the corner&quot .

I was dressed. Worn two pairs of pants, no long Johns. Tennis shoes with wool sox. Rain proof jacket over a "hoodie". On my head I had a fake fur hat (which I added an open face balaclava). For my hands I use Army mittens. My nose was a little cold but it was more then doable.

Any one else biking this time of year?
