Congrats on the Surly! Yeah, you should be fine riding on some light powder roads as well as many snow-covered roads that have already been plowed. You might have some trouble getting through anything much heavier in the fields, though. You'll really have to ride it often enough in a variety of conditions to get a feel for what it can do. If you happen to have any groomed singletrack trails in your area, those tires should ride pretty well on those trails as well. As Marcus stated above, having the proper tire pressure for the conditions is key! Studded tires will greatly improve your ride on ice, too, and icy conditions are bound to happen from time to time. Have fun!
