so On Friday it was cold and snowed 4 inches ( or more). With a promise to take Jennelle to school that morning we strapped the trailer to the bike and headed out for a great 40 minute ride to her school in deep snow. Wow the fresh was decent almost like powder skiing downhill. When you got in the street to cross it was a little icy. We took sidewalks and backroads since I had Jennelle back there so ultra careful. After I dropped her off in her snowsuit I rode the rest of the way to work, It is about 6 miles. Pretty good workout. I did not really feel like doing it back so grabbed a company car and picked her up for the way home ( kind of cheating in my bike commute but I think I earned it this time.)

I ride a lot in the snow and use Nokian studded tires on the bike. you have to have a frame that can take 700x35 tires. They work great. no falls or anything with the tires. Fun too.
