I took a spill on the way in today. Walked the bike out of the nighborhood and carefully mounted up and headed to base. Made it all the way to Taxiway Alpha before the combination of wind and a random ice spot spilled me. Unfortunately the conditions didn't leave me very confident in mounting (I had 4 gallons of water on my rear rack, part of traction part because I was taking them to work) so I walked most of the rest of the way. Fortunately, not long before my hanger a sailor gave me a hand in his truck.

Need snow tyres, though I doubt they would help with ice anyways.
