That's one sick winter setup.

I rode a ti cross bike in the winter for years. Not nearly as nice as yours--it was an Airborne Carpe Diem--but it did have nice Campy Centaur 9 speed. Put a stainless chain on it and it was 100% no fuss.

Somewhere I have a photo taken by a co-worker when I arrived at work one morning, both the bike and I were covered in snow. Fun stuff! I'll see if I can dig it up.

Here it is set up for the other 3 seasons:
