Well, so much for the Great January Blizzard.
I make it maybe two, three inches, tops. Didn’t have to drive in it, so, winning. Did have to shovel it, so Herself could drive in it.
You win some, you lose some.
By the time I got around to shoveling, a lot of what we got proved broomable. Which is excellent, as our steepish, north-facing driveway is an ER visit just waiting to happen.
I work the thing starting from the top, because the top stays in the shade this time of year. Then, as I reach the steepest pitch, I pivot to the stone steps, walk down to the cul-de-sac, and start working my way back up. Any missteps while leaning uphill should involve less velocity and impact. Or so it is to be hoped, anyway.
The cycling is right out. I have been a cyclocrosser, but not since 2004 or thereabouts. There’s a car wash down the way, but I don’t have any quarters, and the last time Herself caught me cleaning a bike in the shower it was damn near all she wrote for the marriage.
So I’ll probably go for a short run in my mud shoes. I ran yesterday between rainstorms, and it looks like I’ll be running again tomorrow. That’s three straight days of running, for you folks keeping score at home, or two more than I can honestly claim to enjoy.
But it beats riding the stationary trainer. I believe getting pepper-sprayed by the ICEholes would beat riding the stationary trainer.
Don’t tell the ICEholes.

I hate stationary trainers almost as much as I hate Illinois Nazis.
Only owned one trainer and sold it two weeks after I bought it. I get it in Michigan. Don’t need it in SE Arizona.
Ok I’ll come clean. The major reason I loath stationary trainers is that when using I don’t move around enough on the saddle. Stay in a fixed position and grind away like a coffee mill. Even if POB’s beloved Brooks saddle is not on the bike, certain (cough) Herb factory “parts” take a beating. Rollers were better but living in abject fear while spinning in the doorway seemed ridiculous. Getting off the bikes for 4 months keeps me eager to ride again each year.
That’s why I stick with the running, Herb old grinder. I run a couple-three days per week in winter, which (a) gets me outside and (2) reminds me how much more fun cycling is than running.
