the snow hates you
It’s snowing in London today. Twenty centimetres of snow overnight and another thirty expected tonight. Public transport is shut. I’m not at work today — my boss texted everyone not to bother trying, and one guy actually made it in but went home again. We expect the same tomorrow.
This is from Ottawa, Canada in December 2008. They’re a bit more used to snow there. The above shows what happens when a small snow cloud really hates you personally. (Or, more likely: when snow is cleared from all around the bike rack but not off it, then left to pack into ice.)
The moral of this story: when it’s snowing like this, you don’t need to lock your bike up.
