9 to 14inchs of snow expected got lucky did not start till 11pm then halfway home started to sleet which made it easer to see. Only an inch or so of snow on streets so far.
Keep riding Thanks Skip

sorry a lil off topic!
Thanks sensor, the Rugby Streamline is one of my favorites. I scored it off eBay about six years ago and then freed it from a grandfatherly overcoat of red house paint.
I’m glad I brought it back in after taking the picture; it would be up to it’s axels by now. The average annual snowfall here (Seattle) is 3”, for the last two weeks it has been accumulating and we have about a foot now. Everything has slowed down which is good for the holidays as long as the power doesn’t go out.

not a rat, but it's how I've been getting to work this winter:
it was snowing pretty heavily today and all the motorists were freaking out. I was having a good time.
After work:
really cold ride home, but still fun. I've upgraded my lights this winter, now sporting two Fenix L2D's up front for twice as much headlight power. And 3 PlanetBike Superflash blinkies on the back, one on the wheelstay, one on the seatpost, and another on my backpack. The Down Low Glow kit adds a lot with the snow to reflect it. Problem is the front tube dims a little when it gets cold and wet. I think I need some sort of clip-on front fender too.
I love the looks I get from people :mrgreen:

Still not much snow here, but enough to play around in.
For those that don't know, bmx in the snow is tons of fun, that is until you wipe out and get hurt. Managed to twist my left shin and bust up my knee.

:shock: Beautiful BMX bike. What size are those crank arms? 180mm?
Thanks, they're Profile 175mm
Like Joeymac, not a rat but my daily ride. I have some MTB tires on it now, but just ordered some studded tires after a few close calls.
I need Ratrod to detail my bike after this winter is over. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I was just looking online for studded tires last night, they even make 20 inchers. I might have to order some and sneak my bike onto the local ski resort.
