A couple of years ago I set up an old MTB with Kenda Klondike 2.1" studded tires - I enjoyed it, but is was so heavy and slow. This year I set up a steel touring frame with 32 mm Nokian A10s, hoping it would be a little less like a truck, but it it is still very heavy. With the arrival of our first real snow, I guess I'll find out if I've done it right or not.
I'm sad to see the road season end - we had a very great autumn riding this year. I'm going to try to ride as much as I can this winter, but I can't ride in daylight during the week and I'm not sure if I'll be able to face the combination of cold AND dark (and icy/snowy)....
