On a day like today you'd be foolish to ride without studs. The warmer temp yesterday melted a lot of snow, creating lots of wet patches and puddles on the road. Over night the temperature dipped below freezing and created just the situation against which many of you were warning. So, a bit premature to talk about taking off the studs.
Sidewalks were even worse. I went for a run this afternoon and it was downright dangerous.
