Yesterday I did a 20 mile loop to pick up a gyro from my favorite Middle Eastern deli, and the final leg was an 8 mile stretch into a 20+ mph headwind pushing a good amount of icy snow crystals (not flakes!), and by the time I got home I needed a warm shower before I could even eat the gyro. Yes the wind sucked, but the icy snow made it far worse.
Generally I just treat the wind as hills these days, because since moving to central Indiana I really miss climbs in the San Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountains of CA, so without the snow I would have just had a great ride.
