Description

If it happens, it happens.

 

When there is snowfall of two inches or or more,  come to the Corner Bar at 7:00pm. You can warm your winter biking gear on the radiator. Departure is by 8pm; bring lights.  Hand and toe warmers will be available.  On extra good evenings, the ride may be followed by sledding in Humboldt Park.

Hooray for snow and bikes!

Just got home.  Wild night out there.  Helped push several cars out of snowbanks in the middle of intersections.  Had to abandon my bike and walk.  3 foot drifts all over the place.  Glad I saw it, but much more that I got home.

any of you near lsd and fullerton and can bring my roommate and her sister some food? They have been stuck on the lsd for 8 hours.

from the "nowcast": Thundersnow. Some small hail has been reported with thundersnow...as well as many cloud to ground lightning strikes. Travel nearly impossible. It is highly recommended to ride out this storm from the Comfort of your home...as venturing outside is outright dangerous. All but emergency or absolutely necessary travel should be postponed.

michael, Avg Moving Speed: 5.8 mph? that sounds about right, but i know you made it south of wilson!

 

it was a fun ride to the lake, thundersnow on the way, and lots of emergency vehicles, but it was impossible to see anything there. on my way home a snowmobile passed me going the other way.

O'Shaughnessy's.  I live within spitting distance of that establishment, I'd have stumbled over for a pint had I known.
