Huge difference just in these last two days. Was still icy in the AM commute and slushy in the PM commute on Monday. Yesteryday, saw a lot of the snow/ice leftovers giving way to bare pavement from the bike paths (SW Corridor, J-Way and Olmstead). Today, had a great AM commute with my road bike instead of the (winterized) mtn bike with the studded Nokians. Looking forward to the commute home, with 50 temp and sunshine.
My be still a couple AM commutes next week with the studded tires to deal with the black ice. But, I think dealing with left-over slush on the paths is pretty much over with (knocking on wood).
