Commute in was rough, with conditions deteriorating very quickly. Gonna try and get back before the darkness. Anyone else looking to head back early?

Any other ride reports?

I took Washington; it was pretty messy in spots but so long as you avoid rush hour it was navigable. Except, oddly, east of Ogden it got real bad real quick. I expect they'll salt that portion today.

The return commute yesterday was treacherous. I took Fulton and Lake, and not surprisingly bike lanes were impassable. I rode on the road and it was pure ice between Ashland and Western, better between Western and Pulaski, and spotty with some very bad spots between Pulaski and Austin. 

Today I didn't ride, not wanting to repeat my experience yesterday (and too lazy to put my studded tires on).

Be safe!

Andy

Correction - I took Randolph and Lake, not Fulton...

I didn't know about this until today and haven't tested it, but it looks like a cool tool for commuters: https://lanestatus.com/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=chibike-v1.5.0

Very cool....thanks for sharing, Justin.

Nothing beats first-hand reports from westsitecommuters, though!
