As much as I love the feel of my SPD shoes, I just don't think I could keep warm with the venting. Also, I don't want to use shoe covers.
If your pedals are A530s though, I would suggest swapping for some cheap plastic BMX pedals like Odyssey Twisteds. A530s just look too slippery in case it snows.
For 4 miles sure but try doing 4 times that distance!
We don't get any snow around here, and even if we did, at this point I wouldn't be cycling 15+ miles in it. I was thinking of my goretex hiking boots because the sole has much more of a tread on them which should work better on the A530's than my board-flat skater-style shoes have.
