Default Cycling in the snow

About thirty years ago, I cycled everywhere. One day, in a rush to wrk, I slipped in behind a car, and flicked the back wheel over a patch of black ice. To make matters worse, I fell on my house keys which were in coat pocket. That bruise was something! At least I bounced back in those days. Now I'd probably break something....
Take care on your bike!

Still at least the dog likes going out and rolling in the eight inches we have had so far

Ah, I missed the reference to 8inches of snow. As far as I can tell, both the North and South are bad, while the Midlands where I am is not so bad (we've got less than an inch here). As far as I can tell where my sister is in the south they've had more like 4" but the roads have become gridlocked as a result.
