First time ever riding in the snow

It snowed a bit Thursday night. I had to pull the mountain bike back out after riding the road bike for a while. The roads were plowed for the most part, but the side roads weren't too great, nor were the shoulders on the main roads. I rode 12.8 miles on Friday bundled up due to the freezing temps and heavy winds. I also rode 9.8 miles today. Sadly my tires are pretty bald, but surprisingly i was able to keep it upright throughout the rides. The soft snow was really my only problem cuz i had to really fight it. My mountain bike really slowed me down, but i was glad i had it and not the road bike. Overall it wasn't bad, but i think i'll keep it to shorter distances for the most part while there's snow on the roads.
