I'll second the benefit of investment in cold/wet weather vestments. While not nearly the extreme s of Patrick's ventures, mine have become sort of mundane and my shell layers have stopped representing disappointment by year two or three's use.
My commuting travels rarely produce such vivd imagery. I did have a memorable Christmas eve the other year when my wife went to her folks' since I was working both the eve and Christmas day. I came out to a steady snow and I took the right turn instead of the normal left in complete desolation of traffic, people and quiet. I rode into downtown to Market Square where a kind bar keeper poured me a holiday libation I enjoyed outside on a bench in the falling snow. I took the long way home around the Point and Monongahela River's trail, Panther Hollow and through the university neighborhoods home and a quick sleep before the ride to work in the morning. I felt like I slept a century One of my favorite ride moments, although it's in my mind and I cannot share a picture.
