I'm sure many will disagree but in spite of all the snow we've had this year, it's been relatively nice for commuting. No long stretches of bitter cold (so far), and aside from a few days after the 1.5 ft snow storm, the roads/trails have been pretty good.

Many of our major snows came on the weekends so that's helped. Also the city quickly banned parking on the even side of most residential streets which has meant better plowing and more room.

With the nastiest winter month (at least here) pretty much behind us and the gradual lengthening of days, there's light at the end of the tunnel. Usually I keep the studs on until April 1st but March snows don't linger on the roads very long. With all the snow to melt though there will be a lot of ice and mud this spring.
