Yeah, noticed that too. Snow is the biggest problem keeping me off the bike right now. The roads get plowed well but just as soon as the deep slush gets cleaned up, it snows again. February is worse for me as we get more snow and more cold wind chill. I commuted quite a bit in January and on dry pavement and clean ice but in the dark. Now its daylight both ways but too much slush and snow. Studded snow tires don't do anything to help that. Can't wait for spring to get back on the icy stuff so I can scoot right along.
