We had black ice and fog here yesterday, double whammy. I slid out on a couple of the slicker patches, but nothing I couldn't recover from. My tires did a pretty good job of handling the slick roads, I had to get off of my bike at one point to pick up something I had dropped and my shoes were less effective at gripping than my tires were.

We get fog around here alot. The office I work in is situated on a building that is on the outter Neoponsett valley, so we get wierd localized wheather phenomon here. I've seen mornings where it's only foggy/rainy/snowing in the local vacinity to my office and has been relatively mild the farther I travel from the valley.

My bigger hazard than either fog or black ice is the amount of instant potholes on the roads. Holy hell there are some craters out there right now.
would you consider studds for the next couple of months?
