It's cold and the roads were snowy

Had a couple of days with no high above freezing, and lots of snow on the bike paths. People don't realize that cold snow is only as slippery as any similar crystal powder. Except when it melts or gets wet. The water will refreeze, and be VERY slippery. But there were lots of dry spots today, so I expect the sun to do its work on them tomorrow, too, even from behind clouds.
People make big holes in a frozen snowy surface. Hundreds of them make for a very bumpy bike path.
