I've always thought snow was pretty but that's because we don't get much here. In 13+ years, I've seen it snow 3 times and once was 2-3". The other two times barely covered the grass. What we do get is ice/sleet.
Yeah! For the rear, that usually happens a couple times after a new tire goes on, then not again til it's time for another tire. I'd much rather ride than clean11
We got over 30" a couple weeks ago but it warmed up, roads got cleared and I got a couple rides in in the last week.
Spent two years in Thurmont at the Naval Support Facility. We had one of the biggest snow storms I can ever recall in 1983. My car was covered with a foot of snow over the roof, deer left the forest and walked on the roads. Walking the perimeter fence line posts for 8 hours was insane with the snow actually piling up on our shoulders and head.
