I drove my bike loop yesterday to see if I could ride it. It wasn't good. In town, snow melt is running across all of the low areas designed to drain the city. That means I would have to ride slow through and beyond each intersection a bit or have ice water sprayed on me. Once out of town, the sidewalk was clear of snow except where it was crossed by streets and roads. The snow plows had cleared the roads but piled it onto the sidewalks as it passed them. The worst area I travel was the sidewalk in the town South. Being as it is used by students, the city had removed the snow leaving a continuous pile on both sides of the six foot wide walk. One side or the other had snow melt running across the walk just about the entire length I travel. The highway siding that I use for my return trip had been plowed along with the state highway and was clear. If I don't get to ride today, tomorrow is looking very good. The high today is to be forty seven degrees and tomorrow fifty nine!
my wife and I both had a bad cold 6 weeks ago and took us forever to get over, it lingered, so we know the feeling
