I'm halfway joking, but in a way it does seem like an interesting idea.

Cold = <20F
Heat = >90F
Snow = 2" of standing snow
Rain = You leave for work even if it is raining steadily
Dark = You commute at night

I'm certified in all of the above.
I am +1 on all of those. Now what badge to you get for convincing your co-worker to do likewise.
I had a great ride yesterday with the Innova studded tires. During the day my co-worker bought the Nokia 106's for his bike from Peter White. He is even eyeing up my Shimano hub and wheel set Peter White build for me back in October. This is all season riding is contagious. We are both getting some sort of kick from just getting through all the bad weather. There must be something slightly wrong with us, but it at least it should be safer and much cheaper than taking on some other trill sport like sky diving.

Happy riding,
André
