Depends on the day. I'm a consultant and my client work location varies. Generally my round trip commute is somewhere between 8-30 miles.
I have a little flexibility and on those days when the weather is really bad I can often rearrange my schedule so that I can ride to a nearer client earlier, then ride to farther locations after the plows run. Thankfully with the winters we have here in South Dakota the city has gotten pretty adept at clearing the roads and MUP in a timely fashion.
Up to that 6"-8" point where I'm unable to ride, my speed drastically reduces in relation to how much snow is on the ground. I definitely have to plan for extra commute time on those days.
