This is how the Air Force Academy Road Race ended a couple years ago. Yep, it was cold, simply because it was warm-ish when it started. Many weren't dressed for it.

Near snow? Taken from a commute home from work in a full blown blizzard. Bike is standing on its own in the near foot deep snow. Decided to stop mid walk and take a nice picture. Mid walk, because yeah, you can't ride in snow that deep.

On that Worksman tricycle, you're pushing two front wheels plus the rear wheel through the snow, and they each make their own track. So two or three inches is about all you can ride through, or else you start spinning the rear wheel. On a bicycle, you depend on traction to stay upright, and losing traction means you're going to fall, so ice is bad news. On a tricycle, traction is the only thing that can make you fall, so you can slide all around and as long as you don't hit a curb or launch down a hill or something, you're good.

These photos were from February, 2015. I had to work hard to get them.
The photo at the pass was the worst. There should have been 10 feet of snow up there, and only a few small scattered snow drifts.

I actually saw snow for the first time in two and a half years last weekend:
The snow was in small patches from a snowfall a week earlier. Some above 5600 ft, this picture was at 6600ft. Started at well below 1000ft. This is as much snow as I want to see. Last time I saw snow, it was pretty similar, just patches.

Snow is on the bike. I could have stopped on the snow/ice covered bridge to take a picture, but I was a little tense from trying not to fall for that 300 yards or so.
