You'll probably be glad you have them this evening... I was a bit overdressed this morning as well because I was dressing for the evening commute.

I did not, but I will be riding home! Have to pick up my bike from the shop.

I rode today. Not to jinx it, but I'm hoping the forecast for snow tonight pans out. :-)

I'd rather have snow than rain any night.

Biking has its advantages.  I wouldn't have run across the Doughnut Vault's van this morning, for example.

I'll never understand that.

but rain doesn't put me at risk of wiping out in front of cars that may not be able to stop.  i can always dry off.

+1 to snow > rain. 

Rain soaks you through while snow just bounces off.

That is my favorite part of riding in the city.  Seeing all the cool shit that the city brings to bear.

Forget the rain/snow.  If my 2 block walk in the loop is any indication, its the wind that's the real challenge today.  Hope the snow doesn't start sticking or icing over before I ride home around 10:30p

This is Chicago; short of a blizzard the street will be wet in either case.

My phone's quality isn't the best but the original pictures are larger.  I remember a larger version of this van used to sell ice cream in my grandfather's neighborhood back in the 80s.  I'd want to see the builder's plate for the van to date it before adding a picture to Wikipedia's gallery.

Posts say it'll be at Clark and Monroe tomorrow.
