I did have a goodtime though, I started out just to see what the local road at the end of my street looked like and ended up going to three different neighborhoods looking around. In all about 6 miles.
We got 20 inches of snow Friday and the roads are still a mess this morning.
I do think that noway I would even try a road bike in it though.
Ice is horrible, sorry you got that there, be safe.
Studded tires are a huge help on ice and packed snow. Not all that good in deep snow.
