There are still spots of icy snow on the road, but all of them had dry tire tracks through so I felt safe riding. The week warms up as we go, so the riding will just get easier.
I can't believe you are riding. The roads in Raleigh are still covered with ice in shady spots and north-facing slopes. Temps have been below freezing here for 4 days. I'm debating about driving to work, that is, what time to leave. We had mostly sleet rather than snow, and it is very slow to melt.
