Well said smilingcat ! 
CR400, I'm sorry that you can't get out & ride as much as you'd like, I do feel for you! It must be so frustrating. In the meantime I hope you ski or do other fun things in the wintertime.
I think I can speak for a lot of people when I say no way would I compare my mileage to anyone else's, much less anyone who lives in the land of ice & snow. 
There are people who somehow, someway, lord knows how, manage to rack up mass quantities of miles despite the nasty weather where they live. They are superhuman and/or crazy
- but no matter, they leave me awestruck.
But that's certainly no negative reflection on those who cannot, or choose not to, bike under difficult or potentially dangerous conditions.
Springtime will come for you, sooner or later. Hang in there.
