I can't think of doing anything different for winter riding this time around. I'm still going to be reasonable and keep the "clear roads down to 20F" rule. I have and can push the temp a bit. But have no problem taking the train when it snows. Besides, the GWB sidewalk usually closes at the slight hint of snow since nobody wants to shovel. I have got caught once on the bridge with an inch of loose freezing rain type of snow. It wasn't too bad. Just went slow and kept my hands on the drops. Black ice is also a concern. I have heard that some folks have fallen with black ice on the slight downhill turn from N Central Rd onto Bruce Reynolds Blvd in Ft Lee. So will be vigilant in the freezing temps around that area.
