We've only had about 6in. of snow this winter.

Pretty good riding area, road-wise. Little frost, much less ice and snow, and when we do get it, we don't do a lot of plowing to tear 'em up. We simply wait.
And I can basically ride to Amani576's place in about 45 minutes to an hour, on 2-lane roads using the 12" that seems to be paved outside the white line almost everywhere.
I grew up in Wisconsin, and the weather has got them using concrete, which is not a great biking road. On the other hand, they have so many paved bike trails, it's great riding with no traffic. Madison to the Dells is my favorite route.
