The above picture is the view from the kitchen window (at my place of employment); the below are a few things I saw on my way to work this morning…had another significant snowfall today. I decided it safer to walk than ride this morning…actually, not sure if I would have been able to ride atContinue reading “A Few Snowy Pics”

Snowy Ride in…
Here’s a picture as I arrived at work this morning. After last week’s thaw and the new blanket of pure white snow it looks more like the beginning of winter than the end. And being frigid cold again, I was glad–as I often am–that I only have a short ride in the morning.

This was somewhat unexpected…I didn’t know we were supposed to get snow tonight. I thought the winter was winding down. None-the-less I still find it beautiful.

Cold and Snowy…
I still find it beautiful (though difficult at times)…I want to remember what this looks and feels like when it is hot and humid this coming summer…
Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#264)…and why I deserve a ticket
A cardboard box containing $36.22 in groceries (it’s a great way to limit my spending…bring a box, and if it doesn’t fit in the box I’m not buying it) and a 4lb. bag of dog food. One of the (many) things I like about bikes is being able to do my own repairs…and I learnContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#264)…and why I deserve a ticket”
Comments on the cold…and a few other things.
This is almost a continuation of a post I wrote a few days ago regarding the pattern of crazy weather we’re having this year…it snows, then turns frigid cold, then it warms up, things start to melt, then it turns cold again and things freeze rock-solid, then it snows…you get the picture. Anyhow, the aboveContinue reading “Comments on the cold…and a few other things.”
Full Moon over Allen Street
I was on my way to purchase a bottle of wine tonight after work and was struck by the scene above. The picture is taken from the focal point at the foot of Allen Street on the corner of Wadsorth looking east. The ominousness of the moon literally stopped me in my tracks…beautiful (frigid, too…10F).Continue reading “Full Moon over Allen Street”

Wet…but a nice short ride
This has without question been an odd winter. The temperatures and snow have been fluctuating daily…and somewhat extremely (I think). Yesterday it was frigid, for example, but today it is warm and rainy; tomorrow the temp is supposed to drop again and bring with it more snow. This is something like the third time thisContinue reading “Wet…but a nice short ride”
And I Say Again….Brrr
The above photo is a screen-shot of my computer just before I left for work this morning…the thermometer app is displaying that it is 1 degree Fahrenheit (-17C). Yikes. I realize that much of the country, and even the world, has been experiencing a colder-than-normal winter (opposed to last year’s hotter-than-normal summer) but that isContinue reading “And I Say Again….Brrr”
Plus de Neige
No I do not have a filter on the camera…it was snowing and blowing so hard today it was difficult to see across the street. This makes it very difficult to ride a bike…and even if one did venture out it would be unsafe on the streets because of low visibility. I don’t get veryContinue reading “Plus de Neige”
A New Day
6:58am, Buffalo, NY. 1.14.11…I love the colors of this time of day in the winter, the sky and the snow seem to glow.

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#259): A canvas bag carry an actual book and a virtual book (kindle), a day planner, and various writing implements.

Buffalo, New York 8:01pm 1.11,11
As copied from a local TV station website: Winter Weather Advisory for all of WNY. Travel conditions are expected to worsen across the region as a winter storm bears down on the area. I knew I should have purchased studded snow tires for my bike.
A Cold and Snowy Ride on the Mundo…and a few things I saw and experienced.
This past week I’ve had off work (have to go back tomorrow…not looking forward to it) and because of the very cold weather that has returned I’ve been in a sort of hibernation mode and have only using bikes for very short rides (and have been using my truck more than I like). At anyContinue reading “A Cold and Snowy Ride on the Mundo…and a few things I saw and experienced.”
2 Bikes, 2 Short Rides, a Snowy Day, and a Change in Road Conditions
This has been a very odd winter in this region…the month of December was frigid and snowy, then it warmed up. Around new years it rained for three days and all the snow melted, and now it’s cold and snowy again. I’ve been riding the Mundo regularly again because of the lack of snow andContinue reading “2 Bikes, 2 Short Rides, a Snowy Day, and a Change in Road Conditions”
A Winter’s Eve
It’s unusually warm out tonight for this time of year (41F / 5C); tomorrow or the next day it’s supposed to be as warm as 50F / 10C. The temperatures seem a bit odd but I’m not complaining…after the past month-long cold snap this is a welcome relief. Anyhow, as I left my house thisContinue reading “A Winter’s Eve”
A Starry Night, a Minor Confession, and Bicycle Therapy
The Starry Night by Vincent van Gough. The past four days I’ve had off of work; today was my first day back. And being the holiday weekend I had family obligations and barely used my bike(s)…much to my chagrin I mostly drove these past four days. Come to think of it I was barely outContinue reading “A Starry Night, a Minor Confession, and Bicycle Therapy”
