I perennially make this request of winter riding stories:
Ah, good point. My commute is about 8.5 miles round trip, on mostly level ground, either tame residential streets or MUP that gets plowed during the winter. They plow it pretty soon after each snow, using a narrow little machine that they also use for sidewalks around city parks.
I'm from a suburb just south of Detroit.
