    Thousands of flights canceled as major winter storm bears down> More than 8,000 flights across the U.S. set to take off over the weekend have been canceled as a major storm expected to wreak havoc across much of the country bears down, threatening to knock out power for days and snarl major roadways.> Roughly 140 million people were under a winter storm warning from New Mexico to New England. The National Weather Service forecast warns of widespread heavy #snow and a band of catastrophic ice stretching from east Texas to North Carolina.> Forecasters say damage, especially in areas pounded by ice, could rival that of a hurricane.> By Friday night, the edge of the storm was sending freezing rain and sleet into parts of Texas while snow and sleet were falling in Oklahoma. After sweeping through the South, the storm was expected to move into the Northeast, dumping about a foot (30 centimeters) of snow from Washington through New York and Boston, the weather service predicted. https://apnews.com/article/storm-texas-oklahoma-ice-snow-a94c9d155615333a50e174a4d7d54fc1 #weather #storm

    @dillyd I don't know if others do this, but I like to test out the bike/studs/footwear on ice at the beginning of the year. Lower the seat (I have dropper post, but you can manually do it, just mark normal position with sharpie) so feet can easily and quickly touch the ground (good boots, even spikes if you have them). Then bike along snow and edges of ice to get a feel for it, nothing fast. How’s braking, how’s turning, how's reaction time to put a foot out? Venture a bit further into small ice patch if you're comfortable. I do this with the car too, much rather try all of the “things" in a controlled fashion rather than in a panic later on.Have fun!
