Seriously, though, be careful with falling snow. I will ride through just about any weather in winter, but have learned to be very careful when wet snow is falling. As long as the tires cut through the snow to road, packed snow or ice underneath, you're pretty much fine. But once the snow piles up to the point where you no longer have contact with a firm surface underneath, you lose a lot of control. And if this happens at the same time that you're getting wet, car drivers have low visibility and are skidding off the road, you really don't want to be there.

Short stretches of loose snow are annoying but liveable, sit well back, focus on your balance and push hard on every stroke that "takes". And enjoy the wide-eyed looks from the pedestrians who can barely stay on their feet
