I don't bike on ice, and this time of year is a bit frustrating as the snow banks melt out onto the road in the afternoon, and that meltwater freezes overnight. So every morning, large sections near the curb are covered by thin layers of smooth ice, yet the centre of the road is dry and clear.

I'm out of town this week, Monday to Thursday but hoping most of the snow will be gone when I get home, and I can ride to work Friday, or at least by Monday.
