Southwest Minneapolis weather report from East Harriet to Kingfield: overnight snow is manageable but it is very cold out. Pedestrians will struggle with unshoveled sidewalks, made worse by blowing snow overnight. Streets are fairly plowed and easily to navigate by vehicle. Bicyclists are tough.

I usually don’t post reports without someone riding on it first, but I figured just after a snowfall this would be helpful for some people. Be careful out there!

#mspcyclecast Minnetonka Blvd not plowed. Hennepin is plowed. Lyndale bridge next to I-94 is not plowed. 15th St is slippery.

The B Line can go into St. Louis Park today, as a treat.

Local recreational cyclist constantly being yelled at that

I love how even on a separated bike path, I'm still blinded by motorist's headlights and can't see a thing in front of me.

2 big guys in my tiny bathroom tiling my new shower. The tile saw sounds likes a dentist drill & makes me cringe. Then they say things like, "I need a D7 for this area," adding to the dental/doctor vibe. But then it gets ruined when John Denver starts singing Rocky Mountain High from their playlist.

Perspective matters.

"The country is falling apart"

for whom?

Billionaires are making record profits and have reoriented the governing apparatus to guarantee them even more record-breaking years
