Yeah, I love these types of statements, which ASSume that the current location of a poster is the only place they have cycled. I grew up in Colorado and Wyoming, plenty of snow riding there. I also lived in several other snow states in which I have cycle commuted as an adult. Regular treaded tires worked just fine for snow riding without the extreme weight and inertia of your tires.
But the bike is great for the bling factor for snow riding.

Seems somewhat dishonest (or at the very least rude) to make this statement towards me after deleting/ignoring this part of MY post.
