The only time I won't ride is if I'm going to get wet on my way to work or if I could slip on snow or ice.

Our Winter in central, NH is a little more difficult to ride in than Kentucky or Florida.
Biking is just about done now.

I ride till the snow flies. We usually have nice days in between snow storms around here so I never really put the bike away. Last year I was pretty well done the first week of Dec. After that I got on it once or twice a month until end of March or so.

Till ice or temps cold enough for ice.

Or rain and below 50.

Ain't out to prove anything or be uncomfortable, riding's suppose to be fun and frostbite is not fun.

Once all of my deer tags are filled, then I'll break the bike back out on the warmer non-snow days.

Once it hits the mid 40s, I'm done. I can't stand cold weather, and riding in it just makes it worse. Hate parkin her, but hate freezin my nuts off even more

Same here. Winter is a good time to make pancakes, french toast, and snuggle with the gal on Sunday mornings.
