I Made It Snow, Last Night

At 6:00 PM, last night, I watched the news and got the weather forecast: Twenty percent chance of light snow showers, mostly in the foothills, with little chance of accumulation in the metro area.

So, I went out to the shop and busted out the Miami Vice bike, and spent twenty minutes swapping bags and lights and blinkies from the Pink Bike to MV. I went to bed, secure in the knowledge that I was going to ride fixed on the way to work, enjoying the dry roads for a change.

I got out of bed at 5:00 AM, and looked out the front door only to see...two inches of snow on the road, and a steady amount continuing to fall.

So, another twenty minutes of swapping stuff around, and the Pink Bike was back on the schedule.

I'm beginning to think I need to invest in at least one more pair of panniers, so that I don't have to go through this every time it snows (or thaws). I just kinda hate to spend the money (again), especially when I consider that I am planning on getting these for the Clubman 3-Speed project.

But, hey, it's only money. And I'd rather have cool stuff than cash, I guess.
