Conservatory. Garage is really cold! I'm not going down there! And I might slip on the path, break my hip, and need an ambulance. What do you take me for?
Do you go on your bike when the roads are covered with thin snow ?

This morning I was surprised to see sheet ice even on the main roads!
Made it to work, not even the car park was gritted ... it's a hospital, for goodness sake!
We are not organized for a deep freeze in the UK

Assume you’ve had some rain or mist, combine that with frozen surfaces and conditions are ripe.
We've a number of shaded valley roads around here where it pays to be careful. Away from those dips, roads can be safe and dry. Down in the dip's another story. We get black ice; damp roads and freezing overnight temperatures. It can be there all day. I avoid such routes if I'm unsure.

It would be selfish of you to slip by walking outside

It thawed really quickly overnight in Denmark. Most of the snow is gone. It was plus 7 this morning.

You know what?
15 pages in and I just realised, I go out on my bike what ever. Snow, ice, cold, heat, rain, floods, demise of the crown, wind, storms, strikes, pandemics, glorious summer days, bank holidays.... You name it and I probably will/have ridden anyway. It's just riding my bike without a song and dance.

When at Ft Drum, where we got 12' of snow between January and March, I rode in the snow a lot. Studded tires, and my commute was only 2 to 3 miles. Easier to pick my bike up over the drifts than to dig out my 2 wheel drive pickup several times per day. Helps to have a very good understanding of other vehicles traction limitations too. The snow plow that I operated could run across anything and wade through 8' (2.5 metre) of snow (chains full time 4x4) , but most of the motor pool trucks couldn't stop on a slope because of the ice. My bike could stop on bare ice but it would wallow out in deep snow. If you see a car with Hawaii plates in snow, stay away...
