Grounded by the weather for commuting by bike

The weather this early winter in Wisconsin has been so very brutal that I have put on hold my commuting for a week or so just waiting to see what happens.
Today I put an old pair of IRC Blizzard studded mountain bike tires on the bike! They just squeaked by the drive belt for a nice fit at about two inches in width!
I did a little over 30 miles on some very slippery frozen ice covered Wisconsin rural roads. What a blast flying down a rural icy road at 25 plus miles per hour!
Of course today's high was 8 degrees but with that motored bike and some great clothes I had no problems at all on this ride! Of course I pedaled quite a lot to add to the great ride a nice cycling workout. I think that today I will have to take my camera along to get some pics of just how beautiful winter is up in Wisconsin...
