I analyzed last 5 years of commuting times, using January and February as winter and July and August as Summer. Same route and same bike, except for studded tires in winter. Speed drop averaged 13% for winter compared to summer. Since I was looking at total elapsed time when calculating speed, the actual speed drop off would be a little more than that. We don't get much snow, so it's really just the combined effect of the colder temps.
