Anyone planning on riding tomorrow?

From the NWS

A POWERFUL WINTER STORM WILL AFFECT THE REGION THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT BRINGING WET SNOW AND VERY STRONG WINDS. RAIN WILL CHANGE TO WET SNOW FROM WEST TO EAST LATE THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING...WITH SNOW CONTINUING INTO THURSDAY EVENING. SNOW COULD FALL HEAVILY AT TIMES WITH ACCUMULATIONS EXPECTED...ESPECIALLY NORTH OF INTERSTATE 80. IN ADDITION...VERY STRONG WINDS WILL LIKELY GUST TO OVER 50 MPH AT TIMES VERY LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON INTO THURSDAY EVENING.

Most concerning is the 50 MPH winds blowing snow everywhere and reducing visibility.

It should get plowed sometime tomorrow.

How quickly does the south section of the LFP get plowed/salted?  I would love to do my normal commute tomorrow but am a bit worried about slipping and sliding. Thanks!

The winter rider of today.  Dressed for victory.

Well, I am going to try my Archer/Halsted/Monroe/Canal route tomorrow morning. I have never ridden in the winter, so I will be leaving about 15-20 mins earlier to contend with crazy drivers and whatever the pavemnet decides to bring.

Wish me luck.

Good Luck to all of you, as well !

Be safe and careful.

 

Respectfully,

 

Manny

Yeah, so the weather reports were bullshit. I totally could have biked home. It's barely snowing and not icy at all. Oh well. :-)

I ended up at the CSO tonight after all.  Scored a 3rd row lower balcony seat for $20.  Enjoyed the show immensely.  The Tchaikowsky is a long buncha nothing but sure does make a great vehicle to hear what a great orchestra can do.  What did you think?

What's at 31st/Sac?

I'll most likely catch the CSO on Saturday night, thanks for the reminder.

I'm still wondering what the hullaballoo is about, but I've been in the house for 45 minutes now. Ride to work was normal. late-morning ride from near northwest to 31st & Sac was normal. Ride back to office from downtown was normal. Ride home was normal. I'll probably take the Blue Line to the CSO tonight instead of riding, but it doesn't seem like an unusual day.

I'm not scheduled to work, so I don't know if I'm riding tomorrow.

I enjoyed the performance, partic. the Shostakovich and the 1st movement of Tchaikovsky. I have season tickets, so I go regularly. Last week's Bach concertos were wonderful. For some reason I was surrounded by subruban high schoolers.

31sr & Sac. is a city vehicle maintenance facility, which I go to for work from time to time. Got your message, will write later today when I can.

What storm? hah! y'mean that damp sub-tropical breeze we had? For me, between 3pm and midnight... all told? i did about ten miles on the new, made-from-scrap chopper bike, "la chuleta".

Yay! Our first, albeit whimpy, storm of the season.

Besides the massive skunk-striping i earned last night... yes... that was a horror show... still... i mean... this is our mayan apocalypse?

Me'h!

The movie was better.

Maybe you should invest in some fenders. :-)

Thanks.  Are you riding tomorrow?
