I used to deliver newspapers all winter on a cheapie mountain bike. The only real hazard was unshoveled sidewalks after a few freeze/thaw cycles. I still love riding through the woods in the snow; my regular bike on regular mountain bike tires handles up to six inches or so with zero drama, provided the elevation changes are modest. I haven't been able to figure out if studded tires and fat bikes are just GAS (gear acquisition syndrome), or if the disconnect is in my simple midwestern flatlander brain.
