Pretty nippy out there. 19 and a windchill of 2 degrees. Yesterday's heavy rain froze, but unlike in UT, MN actually does something about ice and the moderate to major roads were pretty good. The sidewalk near the ball fields that are closed for winter was just ridiculous, so it's impressive that they managed to clear most of everything else so well. Back roads definitely got a bit sketchy, as did a few chunks of the paved trail outside Katherine Abbott park. Parents' house to Warner, up to Maple, down to Mahtomedi, to Quail, to Briarwood, to Hallam, to Juniper, to Park Ave, and back. Wind gusts only got into the 30s, but it felt pretty crazy when snow was blowing in the light of far-away headlights. Good times. AP was slow, slow, slow (8:30 or 8:40). No desire to run remotely fast today, especially with the chance of a random patch of ice here or there.
