I wimped out, too, and rode Metro. I just don't trust the drivers around here enough to ride in the ice/snow/slush. I see too many SUVs thinking they can handle anything, but forget that they are no better off when it comes to stopping.

I looked out the window today while riding Metro and the Mount Vernon Trail around the airport seemed to be fairly clear. There were several spots with slush, but they looked like they could be easily avoided. The only tricky part tomorrow morning may be the two overpasses near the airport.

I think the path along the 14th Street Bridge will be okay because enough salt comes over the barrier onto the path when the trucks are out treating the roads. I'll be out there tomorrow. Good luck and be careful.
