We got another inch of snow last night. It was one of those mornings where clearing the car would've accounted for half my ride to work, as I had been driving last night and when one shuts off a warm car in the snow, the snow melts on it, then freezes to ice overnight.

I was glad to have the eFatty ready to rock. I took it unpowered. Yesterday, the tires were set to 12 psi in the garage, but it felt too soft, so when I came home for lunch, I brought them up to 15, cold. There was only the first block that looked like the photo below. The rest was wet pavement with occasional patches of inevitable salt slush. We'll see how well the Boeshield T-9 holds up to its marketing claims! Depending on your snow, you might try a bit higher pressure, Tundra_Man . 4-5 psi is only for soft, deep surfaces and is SO much harder to pedal than 10. 10 is also a lot harder to pedal than 15. When I run 4-5 psi unpowered, I never see double-digit (mph) speeds, I'm usually running some power at those pressures, but it's also somewhat of a Catch-22, since the bike is 80 lbs with its mammoth battery & motor.

Here's about how I run the tires, for reference:

Smooth pavement: 20 psi (rare)
Rough pavement: 15 psi
Grass or hard-packed gravel or dirt offroad: 10 psi
1/2" or less of loose snow, dirt or gravel on top of a hard base: 10-12 psi
Softer or deeper than the above: 4-5 psi

This is with the stock Kenda knobbies.

It was about 18 °F (-8 °C) this morning, but I don't wear as many clothes as BobbyG . I had on:

• Hiking boots over dress socks
• Dress slacks over sporty underwear*
• Wind/water resistant overpants over the slacks (un-insulated, but they do a great job blocking the wind and keeping me clean)
• Button-up short sleeve dress shirt over a regular cotton T-shirt
• Road worker's winter jacket over the dress shirt
• Ski helmet
• Wynd glasses
• Cheap, thin ski-type mittens, Green Bay Packers-branded.

When I get to work, I change shoes, take off the jacket, overpants, helmet & glasses and I'm ready to go without any further drama. I've finally gotten to where I can moderate my effort to not sweat despite wearing non-breathable clothes.

My eFatty has full factory fenders, which helps a lot to stay clean. My hiking boots don't even look bad.

The trunk bag holds my D lock on the way in, and when I get to work, it holds my ski mittens and Wynd glasses. Small amount of groceries on the way home.
I may invest in studded tires when the stockers wear out.

Check out the Wynd glasses, which are sold on Amazon. They have a gasket eyecup to keep the eyes from watering in cold wind, but with breaks in it to let just enough air through that they usually don't fog. At stops, they do fog, so I just push them down my nose a smidge and that's sorted.
