It's late September and we really should be getting cool...

[hazard]

It's been snowing steadily, if with occasional breaks, since Friday in the Netherlands. As the temperature continues to hover around 0 degrees Celsius we are getting a lot of slush and ice patches. It's a good thing it's not just the car roads that get salted here; if you think driving with summer tires in a car is liable to make you slip, try doing it with maybe 100 kilograms of cyclist and bicycle on a pair of cycling tires no more than 3 centimeters wide while dealing with a tangled mess of frozen and hardened tracks hidden in soft snow.
