I got on the WOD at Vienna heading west this morning.
The Vienna to Hunter Mill section wasn’t too bad, some icy patches.
The worst sections as of this morning are:
Just past Hunter Mill:

On the decline of the Buckthorn hill:

Just past Wiehle Ave:

On the approach to Old Reston Ave:

After that there were still some icy patches – I get off the trail in Herndon.
I was on Schwalbe Marathon studs – 700×35.
I’ll report back on conditions with today’s “balmy” temps after tonight’s commute back to Vienna, but I suspect it will take this weekend’s temps to make a real dent in some of these bad spots.
Evening update (Heading east):
Clear in Herndon into Reston, very few icy patches and at least one side of the trail is clear where there is ice.

After Old Reston Avenue – where it was icy this morning, it was mushy tonight and harder to navigate.

Approaching Wiehle Avenue – same as previous.

The climb up the Buckthorn hill was in much better shape (no picture).
But the approach to Hunter Mill Road was also pretty mushy.

Most of the way into Vienna was like this.
