I have no problem riding on snowy roads, especially if they are not frozen stiff with icy ridges everywhere, but even if there's ice, my Manitou shocks take care of it.
I just put a new set of IRC Mythos XC II (2.1") on the M80 and a new set of Topeak fenders. Whenever there is a storm, it calls to me, and I have to go out riding (or walking) in it.
Olds, have you gotten any snow, yet? We might get a drift over the weekend.
