Can't wait to get some snow, end of next week we should have a tiny bit here in Montreal! Will be my 6th winter of Montreal winter cycling (before only in mid Europe with milder winters, so these don't count), my first winter was the best with constant -15°C and some dips to -25°C, last year was too much melting in between and ice. I love cycling through fresh snow after a massive snow storm (or in it) while all the cars are basically stopped. Or on dry, sunny -15°C to -20°C days. Summer is definitely too warm for me here...
For now commuting with flat bars and thin knobby tyres since spikes don't fit, but next year I'll be on drops and spikes! I'll try out some dirt drops, where the drops flare a bit wider (none of the extreme 30° models, just a moderate 12°), let's see if this helps in snow.
