Bridge falls down in California

On the subject of omens of spring here is what I did today after my ride.  I took the snow blower outside and ran it until it was out of gas.  This is a rite of spring but should only be done when you are absolutely positive that you aren't going to have snow blow 8 or 10 inches of springtime out of the end of your driveway.

It was 60-ish today but the sun disappeared and the wind freshened.  The sky remained hazy throughout my ride and I could still feel a chill, particularly into the wind.

It was hard, it was really hard.

It wasn't as hard as yesterday.
