Interesting!

My normal ride to the station has two options: the path by the Delaware and Raritan Canal, and a bridge on Basin Road. The latter is out for now; being rebuilt. And with 10" of snow on the former, I wasn't going to mess with that either. So I rode in to Trenton, a couple miles farther, and took the train from there. The roads are slushy in places, and there was some black ice, but no problems. In this kind of weather, bicycles seem to freak out drivers even more than usual.

New York City streets are pretty slushy too, so messy when cars drive by. But there's no ice on the streets that I saw. The paths through Central Park are pretty slick, but as long as you don't steer, no problem. But I had to go really slow!
