I ride my bicycle all year round which means I ride it in both rain and snow. To me rain or snow have certain advantages and disadvantages over each other. I like the rain because once it stops the roads are soon dry again. However, I sometimes prefer the snow because when it's dry snow falling you don't have to worry as much about getting wet like you do if it's raining and you've left your rain gear at home. However again, I don't like deep snow when it's been only salted and not plowed which turns it into a grease-like substance that has not traction for anything. Snow too can hide holes and or cracks in t he road surface and those holes or cracks can deflect a front wheel.

So for those of you who ride in both rain and snow, which do you prefer?

We don't have snow here but I don't mind riding in rain, providing
that it isn't a torrential downpour. I tried several different types
of rain gear and finally settled on a poncho that, seated, extends to
just below the seat as here, it is just a matter of whether one is wet
with sweat or rainwater :-)
