#wintercycling — Public Fediverse posts

Second try with the same parcels this morning. The post office was open this time. There was still treacherous ice in some places, such as along the cycle-path in the second photo. But there were not many patches like that which I had to ride over. It's nice to have a studded tyre on the front. It really makes cycling with icy conditions much safer.

This morning began with an NL Alert.

Mobile phones across the country made a horrible noise and woke everyone up at 6:30.

We're too high to flood, so it was either nuclear war, or (more likely) the horrible weather that we were expecting.

It was a Code Red alarm and the weather was worse than had been predicted. No-one was supposed to venture outdoors even walking until at least 14:00 because it was so lethally slippery absolutely everywhere. It was clear even from looking through the window that anywhere that ice could settle was like a skating rink.

This afternoon after the alert was over I packed some parcels, put a bit of salt and grit on some remaining ice on our own driveway, and cycled to the post office. I shouldn't have bothered: they were shut.

Oh well. These customers will have to wait until tomorrow.

We have weather warnings for black ice (ijzel) today. I swapped the front tyres on our town bikes so that we can still cycle with a good degree of safety, and then cycled to the city centre for a new hot water bottle (kruik).
