I commuted in the snow today. It never snows here, so it was my first time. On my way to work, there was a fresh layer of snow on the roads. Riding on that wasn't too bad. People here get really scared and drive slow, so I was passing some of them. At a traffic light, one guy offered to give me a ride. I was only one mile away to my destination, so I declined the offer. A few times when starting from a stop giving high torque I felt some slipping in the crankarms. I think it might've been too much snow accumulating up or something. I didn't have any problems shifting gears.

On the way back, it was rather slushy and it looked like there was ice. I saw a motorist losing control at one point. I was riding much slower, and it felt a bit slippery at times at the rough hard snowy areas if you know what I mean. A couple times I felt like I was losing control. I never fell. I was using 23 slicks. I didn't like how the snow covers up the pot holes. I think it might be safer to ride in the snow for traction than the mushy areas where the vehicle tires go.
