- Knobby tires? How wide? If not, thicker slicks? How wide?
one bike with 1.9 studded nokians, one bike with 700X28 slicks. basically, snow/ice and rain bikes.

- Anything else you want to add:
fenders. on everything. zipties are your friend.
a change of clothes at work, or at least a pair of dry socks in the bag can make life a lot better.
If you can get access to a heat vent to pile the wet clothes on, it'll be nice and toasty by the time you need to head back out.
