my bike hits the garage fairly late and sits there. I would not trust myself in snow or ice on the bike. Not only that but I trust the people next to me even less.
Once that first snow flake is seen people for get how to drive......I am a Penn State fanatic.
Why is the sky blue and white? God is a PSU fan...

Well, around here in SE PA, we have a saying:
"instant idiot, just add water."
doesn't mater if its in solid, semi solid, or liquid form, add water to the road and everybody around you seems to become a complete moron.
However, in a funny related story about riding in the snow, many years ago, my buddy Jason had scheduled his MC skills test for some day in early December at the Norristown PA DL Exam center.
Halfway down from Lansdale PA, it started snowing.
by the time he got to the test center, there was over 1" of snow on the ground.
he pulled up to the center, went inside and said "i'm here for the 4PM appointment?"
the examiner got up, went to the door, looked outside, and said "Did you ride down here in that?"
Jason, (looking at the bike in the snow with the tracks behind it) "Yup".
Examiner took his permit, endorsed it to a passed license, and said "i dont think *I* could do that...now get home safe"
Jason rode his Vulcan home thru the snow back to Lansdale with no issues, with his new license.
that was one of the funnier things i've heard about MCs and snow

Last year was a pretty mild winter here. My husband was able to ride all but maybe a few days during the winter (I wasn't riding yet).
My bike is my commuter to school. I don't have a parking permit for the car and I did that on purpose. As long as it isn't icy out and I have cold weather gear (which is coming up, it was a cool ride this morning) I am good to go.
