I LUST for a cyclocross bike. Even when the roads are clear we have a LOT of very rough chip-sealed roads and unpaved 2-tracks that would be nice with a 'cross bike. I run all Winter and ride on the trainer, but it sure would be nice to be able to run outdoors, too. I am pretty certain that my next bike will be capable of snow riding. Winter in MI is too long to not be able to ride outside.
You live in Michigan and don't have a winter bike?? Get yerself an old beat up mountain bike and some studded tires already! You do not need a fancy cross bike--just a winter bike. I may even send you my studded tires (we'll have to discuss that in private).

I don't like the lack of daylight in winter. Nor do I like cold toes. I do like Fall, though, with the crisp air.
