  • Leftover powder on the road is a different beast. It’s often mixed up with a little bit of sand, and it’s been crushed into a powder that doesn’t feel like natural snow at all. It doesn’t stick and it slips like fine sand. Not a fun time. A little pile of 2-3 cm of the stuff was enough to almost make me completely lose control last year. Scary stuff.


  • Hmm, i see.

    I’ll have a new bike with different winter tires this year but last year my bike would get dangerously destabilized by the smallest amount of leftover powder snow trail from the snow clearing machines, so I stayed well away from uncleared roads.

    But for one, as you say, that was forgetting about how uncleared snow is not the same, and also, new tires this year.

    I’ll give it a try next time. It’ll probably be safer to avoid the cars for a little bit longer anyway.

    You’re motivating me to start looking into pans again. The only one I have is a warped The Rock ceramic non-stick pan (that absolutely does stick) and it has basically the disadvantages of Teflon (although I don’t think it’s actually Teflon) without the advantages.

    I’ve wanted a quality, rivet-free, stainless steel pan for a long time. Maybe it’s time, instead of waiting for my crap pan to finally die.

    Oh I’m not worried about microbes. I’m worried about a gross greasy film that I’m not allowed to remove. If it gets on your clothes it can be a real pain, and sometimes you need gasoline to clean it off your hands.

    As for eggs… I go crazy trying to make eggs in any pan at all without lots of oil lol. I’ve never used a pan, no matter what it’s made out of, where eggs wouldn’t stick. At least, when it inevitably sticks, i can go ham scraping a stainless steel pan.

    And yeah we’re together in wanting teflon pans dead.
