No-Snow Day

I'm ready to get back to my students, but school will not begin today until two hours late, due to -- what? It's snow-free and even relatively dry in Fremont. I was planning to ride my bike, and I'm layered up: three layers on top and my fleece tights with bike tights on the bottom.

But I checked with a friend on Capitol Hill, through which I ride, and it's slush central over there, he says. "Don't even try it on your bike."

I checked the snow routes for buses; my usual one isn't going up the hill at all. (Hills are the problem in Seattle; we're not wienies, we just have hills so steep I'm nervous about riding down half of them, even when it's warm and dry.)

So I've got a new plan, which may involve a mile-long walk. Must re-think wardrobe....keeping in mind dire predictions for lots of snow later in the day.

Going to be an exciting Tuesday!
