Thank goodness for studded tires. LFT had a fair number of icy patches, especially north of Foster.

Did not ride.  Side streets covered in ice as are sidewalks.  Drivers sliding through intersections. Milwaukee looked okay if you can get there, but I am not sure about it outside of the travel lanes.

Thanks for the early posts about the ice. I skipped this morning. Maybe I'll Divvy home.

Clark St wasn't the usual gravel trail made of rock salt this morning. Was mostly able to cruise, but could see plenty of slick patches along the margins. Definitely a day for the back-brake-and-food-down method of stopping. 

Ahhh, it isooo much fun to start the day with a flat tire.

Gene, thanks for posting these lakefront photos! I always enjoy seeing photos from your commute. Sorry 'bout the flat.

Gene, maybe your last photo, which looks like mountains, gave Porsche its inspiration for its ad featuring Chicago's skyline :-)

Only a shirt while I have three layers everywhere ...
