The commute here in CO went fairly well. Winter didn't know it's not welcome and doesn't knock.
BUT, the new Nokian Mount and Grounds performed superbly. It was quite the ride home, snow falling and sticking- temps in the upper 9's, drivers totally dazed... the most fun on a bike for some time.
(Imagine if they made a fat bike tire with studs!! MSRP, $200.)
