Can We Please Get a Break in the Weather?

A small group of us met at WF on Saturday to ride a couple of hours. We were all planning to race on Sunday so the plan was to do an easy 2 or 2 1/2 hours. I needed to be back home by 11:00 so that Karma and I could drive up to Columbus to do some house hunting. We rolled out of the parking lot at about 8:45, just as it was starting to snow. The all knowing weather guys had specifically said we might get a little snow but it would not accumulate on the roads. Only two miles into the ride, it was snowing so hard that we couldn't see and the roads were completely covered....thanks for the accurate forecast weather guys. We decided to turn around and slowly and carefully make our way back the shop. Luckily, we made it back with no fall causalities. It just figures, it stopped snowing as soon as we got inside. We waited around to 15 or 20 minutes and headed out again. A lot of the snow on the road had already melted. We headed down to Corwin Road and started to ride up along the river. It started to snow and the road was becoming covered again. When we go to the Corwin covered bridge, the road was flooded. At that point, we decided to cut our loses and head back. It was a wet cold 2 hour ride in windy conditions but it was still better than riding the trainer.

Snow and a flooded road forced us to turn around...
