Way to go! I was just saying to my partner the other day while posting to the commuter challenge how fun it is to have this group to brag to about things other people just think are weird!

South Dakota!
I'm quaking with awe.
And face it, with cold even down here in balmy Salt Lake.

w00t!!! Way to go!!
Here I am trying to stop being a wuss about riding in 30- and 40-degree weather even when it's fair (and I'm trying to stop being a wuss about riding in bad weather, and riding in the dark, too -- I have a lot to work on!), and there you are riding through snow with a wind chill of -10!!!! You are an inspiration!!!! You go, girl!!

There's nothing wrong with not wanting ride in -10 temperatures. Personally, I don't like riding below 40. I've ridden in the 30's, but really, it's not fun for me. I have the gear, so when the mood strikes me, I'll take my hybrid out in the winter if it's a sunny day and the roads are OK.
Ice, snow, and tires just don't mix for me because I would be spending the whole time worrying that I was going to crash. Besides, I like having a season for x country skiing and snow shoeing.
But, I don't think anyone is weird for commuting through the winter.
