Not quite a snowy commute

I have no picture, but wanted to document that today was my first ride in to work with snow. Of course, it was a grand total of maybe 10 flakes, but snow nonetheless. I need to get wider tires with tread for the bike. The narrow road slicks on there are going to serve me poorly when it gets wetter and/or icy.

With the beard, I can still ride to work without the face mask to stay warm. I might try out some goggles, as my eyes water the whole way. I remember the tears freezing on my cheeks and beard in previous winters.
