Thanks for saying so, but I'm not so sure.
First, my new, much, much, longer commute is a whopping 9.3 miles round-trip. Most of this winter was on the short, old, barely worth it commute. Next, I live just that much further from the lake that I get less snow than you. Third, I don't have to deal with traffic on 104.
Of course, the big thing is that having disposed of the car back in '99, I don't have a lot of other choices. It's ride the bike, or don't go to work. It sharpens the focus nicely.
