It's well into the cold and dark season here in the frozen north. I rolled out of my driveway today in weather a couple of degrees above freezing, with a stiff west wind and light snowfall. The climate in Buffalo is really wonderful... until the air gets colder than the lake. Then it goes totally to [censored]. Cold wind blowing over the warm lake picks up moisture and then dumps it on the lee shore, so that the climate suddenly turns Seattle-like until the real freeze hits, then it's all snow, all the time.
I thought I would share my gear choices for commuting in such conditions:
Bike: Surly Crosscheck fixed-gear (as usual). I move to the singlespeed MTB in the snow (if I'm still commuting, wuss [censored].)
