See what the recommendation is tomorrow. If the police say only do vital journeys, stay at home .

I'm going to check when I get up, but if there's ice about, I'll take the tube.

I'm going to cycle home slowly later, but that's because it doesn't seem icy at the moment. I've just let my tyres down to 40psi and have packed a Penguin choc bar in case of an emergency...

I've just been out for a walk at lunchtime and it's OK here (Kent). It's snowing quite hard but it's wet and so not too slippy. I had a great ride in today and am looking forward to the jouney home.

If it freezes tonight though, that's a whole different thing.

Im not pushing my luck again.I lost the front wheel this morning coming down from Tower Gateway and I had a lorry behind me.Pulled over after that.

Watching something on the Beep online and they said for cars not to lower tyre pressure - is it any different for a bike? The police man just said that the level they say is what they're designed to work at, so leave them alone.

Still snowing. Sludge + compacted snow + - 2 deg O/N = no way on a bike

What's all this about 'vital journeys' because my boss certainly wouldn't have heard of it should I choose to stay at home.

In this mush, I prefer a slightly wider contact patch.

My front tyre is slightly deflated and I think it helped this morning.

Surrey has already announced schools will be closed tomorrow so luckily I can stay at home. It's about 2 ft deep here.

Just got back. The A roads were OK apart from a black slush puppy coating and a lot of surface water. The minor roads were a different story due to treacherous compacted snow. I decided to walk the last few hundred metres to origami towers.
