Ice Makes Me Nervous


I watch the curb line carefully on winter days.  This scene makes me nervous.  If I can't see the white line, my part of the road still isn't available for bike commuting. Where there's a puddle during cold sunny afternoons, there will be slick black ice by evening. 

Better to pedal in the basement.

Even below freezing temperatures, some of the ice will sublimate

With all the salt that's dumped on roads, a lot of this ice will melt and run down storm drains, too. This clears the roads sooner. But all that salt is lousy for the environment.
