Snowy/Unusually Cold Pro Road Races
I was getting into the holiday spirit recently by trying to find some pro road races/stages that took place in either snowy or unusually cold conditions. I found a few stages on YouTube from the 2013 and 2014 Giro. I thought there was a fairly recent spring classic that was really bad, but my Googlefu must be weak. Anybody remember and recommend some good snowy/cold races that might be online to watch?

No video because the stage was cancelled. I remember being disappointed that this stage didn't happen.

There might be footage of the 1988 Giro somewhere, there was supposed to be some epic stages on that one.

current pro tour protocol will remove nearly all of that.

Watched Milan San Remo 2013 last weekend. That looked pretty miserable. I think the Liege Bastogne Liege 2016 is the one I was trying to think of. I'll have to check out that stage of the 2017 Tour de Romandie. Thanks for the suggestions.

Portion of the ATOC had to be cut a few years ago due to a spring blizzard. The stage was to go over Donner Summit, which seems weirdly apt.
