Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.Matt Gaunt

edit: title should read implore - my typing error!
Basically, unless you have a really good excuse (or you live more than, say, 50 miles from the park) you should ride to and round it today.
It is beautiful. There's no wind, there is a thick dusting of frost everywhere, it's fairly quiet in terms of traffic and there are no icy patches as far as I could see. I just spent the last few hours in there training and, granted, it's a bit nippy (-2 degs according to my Vetta) but well worth the pain. In all honesty, I'm typing this while my feet and hands warm up sufficiently that I may have a shower without them burning, but I would go out again if I could (albeit with a camera).
That is all. Apologies to those who do not live close enough to experience this today :)
