If it was half that distance I wouldn't let the snow or freezing rain bother me either.
I feel lucky because it's too expensive to park where I work, and public transit takes too long (and is also somewhat expensive), so I have one more incentive to stay on the bike in all conditions and don't mind experimenting with foul weather gear.
A co-worker clued me into VeloToze neoprene shoe covers:
VeloToze cover . I ride with clip-in MTB shoes and these covers have held up much better than expected and keep my feet dryer than any other cover I have tried.
