Try to look at the bright side: you have enough time to wax you bike. Still at least four weeks to go without riding. That sucks. Gotta go and wax my bike for the 17th time...

I could not take it any longer up here in Michigan this past Saturday. The streets cleared in my subdivision so I put a shipping blanket over a three foot section of ice at the end of the driveway and drove around the block a few times. It made me feel better...
