Daily Snow and Ice Report

[Dirt]

Why not have a thread about this? This morning might catch some people out.

Custis Trail east of Lyon Village is patchy snow and ice. DC has a pretty good layer of snow and ice. It wasn’t a problem with cyclocross tires, but the guy on touring tires behind me was seriously hating life.

Have a good day! The riding is lovely.

W&OD between Herndon and Vienna is still mostly an icy mess. I’ve been diverting my commute to Route 7, and surprisingly it hasn’t been that bad at all. With one small exception, it has a decent shoulder – even though it’s covered in gravel/salt/dirt. Armadillos rock.

W&OD between Vienna and Washington BLVD in Falls Church is intermittent ice. There are many sections where there isn’t a clear line through. I didn’t have a problem without the studs this morning, but I did slip around a bit. A bit of momentum and smooth riding dealt with it fine.

Falls Church to Custis turn-off is still clear, with a few very visible icy spots.

Custis is mostly clear. There’s a clear line through pretty much everything until you get to Lyon Village. There’s a little black ice on the right side of the S of Certain Death. Easily avoidable, though it wasn’t very visible in the dark. East of Lyon Village there are some sections that are completely covered in ice and snow. Again, nothing that cross tires and smooth riding couldn’t deal with. Just a bit slippy.

Happy riding!
