The Commute & the Furby from H-E-double-hockey-sticks
Morning commute was pretty good... -14c, bit of a cross wind, very slippery with my worn out studs.
Commute home was the most "technical" yet. -18c, 30km/h head wind, 4" of fresh/partially packed snow on top of the ice, snow & blowing snow, so I couldn't see were the ruts were.... spinning/sliding all the way home... averaged 8.7km/h (I walk at 5 to 7km/h if I'm in a hurry)

It took me 1hr & 20min to get home (summer rides are 25 minutes, winter rides have normally been 40 to 45 minutes)

I took the sidewalk in some places I'm very much against riding on sidewalks, but I was desperate to find at least minimal traction... definately getting the Nokians for next winter.

--- On a Lighter Note ---
Last night (~4:00am) my wife & I woke up to the sound of a "Ferby" McDonalds toy (this one plays a saxaphone) in the bathroom sink! I guess one of the kids got it wet & it short circuted & started to play... freaked us out.

I could not get the thing to shut up. I even tried drowning it I finally got fed up & threw it out the window onto the icy street... "crack".

This morning as I rode past the ferby I noticed it was STILL playing the saxapone! I put him in my pannier & headed for the river...

When I stopped on the bridge to give the little guy a swim, he was Still making music.... I suspect that this spring, some kid downstream will find a furby along the river bank & it will still work
