I ride on snow and ice nearly every weekday from late November till early April. Usually in the dark.
A few times a month I do the last 0.10 mile with a box of pizza on my handlebars.
I actually enjoy riding on ice. My current favorite ice tire is a Conti GP5K 28mm. I made my way a 1/4 mile out into a frozen lake just last Friday to enjoy some aimless pedaling and long slides. It was fun.
