Snow riding tips
I generally don't ride in the snow due to a lack of experience. But, with my bike being my only transportation, sleeping in my office gets old after a few days. For those of you who actually ride in the snow, got any tips? Is there specific tires you've noticed hold a line better than others? If you don't ride in the snow, I genuinely do not give a single solitary **** about how stupid you may think it is.

Snow is just like riding in the rain. However, the ice and road treatments are a different issue as they are slippery.
Where are you living that gets snows routinely, and you only have your bike? My motorcycle was my main transportation for 20 years in the military. Still my usual transport today. But I have never lived north of Norfolk, Virginia. I was able to ride all but a few days a year. On those icy days in Norfolk, I had girlfriends with cars.

Years ago a took a lap through town, where I had to ride to the main rode with my feet down because of ice mays. Side roads have a mat through much of the winter. That was 500lb bike, which would be my choice for something like this. Down side no weather protection.

I have been stuck riding in the snow on multiple occasions. I have lived in Ketchum Idaho, Boulder Colorado and the Western Sierras for the last 30 years. On more than one occasion I have called friends to trailer me home. There is no plus in trying it. The scariest ride of my life was getting stuck in a blizzard between Stanley Idaho and Boise. I would recommend you reconsider your plan.
