In Summer and Fall I add miles to my commute but in winter I keep it to 6 miles. It goes from 20/25 minutes during the Summer to 45 minutes or longer on snowy winter days and I just can't justify more time. That and my toes tend to get colder during my winter commute as opposed to the rest of my body which warms up.
