Well I had my teenage son call one of his friends in town to see if it had snowed overnight (we live like 15 miles away and there was no snow at my house). They said no. They were wrong...
It wasn't a lot of snow, and I have ridden in the snow before but, never when the snow wasn't still falling and never when the temp was below freezing (it was 14 when I left the house). I was quite surprised that it felt ok I didn't slip once. There was a 8 mile ride with out snow before I hit the snowy areas. Apparently the tire heated enough to melt the snow because if you look close you see water has dripped off the front tire and it totally shouldn't when the temp is less than 20.
Now I know this was a bad idea but, I was already most of the way there by the time it got real bad and the bike felt fine. The moral of the story is don't trust a teenager...
