The weather is getting springy, but showers keep coming. And it wasn’t long ago that folks in colder climates were tackling snowy commutes.
To celebrate a drizzly, wet spring, dozens of photographers sent us photos of people biking and walking in the snow and rain. The photos were submitted as a part of our Showers & Snow photo contest, sponsored by Ortlieb and presented by Streetsblog and the Alliance for Biking & Walking. We want to know which shots you like best!
We couldn’t pick just two winners, so please help us out by voting for your favorite picture. The top two vote-getters will win sets of waterproof Ortlieb panniers and bike bags!
Polls close at 5:00 p.m. next Monday, May 12 and our winners will be announced the next day.
Update (5/13/14, 10:00 AM): we've been hacked! The Google form we were using to collect responses was hacked on Saturday, May 10, so we made a more secure form and are keeping voting open for a while longer. The final winners will be decided by combining the pre-hacking votes with votes cast between now and 5:00 PM on Wednesday, May 14.
The new deadline for voting will be 5:00 PM on Wednesday, May 14, and our winners will be announced the next day.
UPDATE (5/13/14, 1:57 PM): Well, this is embarrassing and a little maddening. We have been hacked through our hack-proof captcha coding. So, we're shutting this sucker down and calling the winners based on voting as of May 10, when the hacking started. We will steer clear of Google polls in the future, and we sincerely apologize to everyone who voted and most especially to everyone who submitted photos. Look for the final winners tomorrow!
