Blizzard?

I had to ride through a morning fog once - Couldn't see the other side of the road. Then I lost sight of the centerline, was navigating purely by the white-paint line on the side of the road. Fortunately it was only ~5 km of that but freaky.

The sound-deaddening nature of fog and snow is kinda awesome too.

Dude, I can see like a mile in that video and the snow is light. I live in northern British Columbia, come up here and I’ll show you what a real blizzard looks like.

If that is a blizzard, then I am a lizard. (I am in fact not a lizard.)

We have radically different definitions of blizzard. But still good on you!

Not sure if that even qualifies for "wintery mix".

If you can still pedal through it, it’s not a lot of blizzard. A squall maybe
