Pedal pins, knobby tire, maybe lower the seat (it's harder to mount when
standing on slippery snow because you can't hop up -- but that depends
on the snow conditions and your shoes).

Prepare for the snow. Look forward to the snow.

This will be my second winter, and I can't wait. Because now I'm a much
stronger rider and I have a KH24 with a 24x3 Gazz. Snow, baby! Bring
on my backyard winter wonderland!

(and when winter does finally come, please just ignore my whining about
the cold...)

P.S. - Just start with a knobby tire. Unless you plan to ride on sheer
ice, don't use a studded tire -- I have a healthy fear of pedal pins --
I certainly wouldn't want to turn the entire unicycle into a unicycle of
death. As a beginner at MUni, I am discovering all the different
creative ways of falling. Ways that just never happen on pavement.
Studded tires (especially with pointy screws) seem too dangerous until
you have enough experience. Then it becomes a calculated risk and an
informed decision. In my opinion, for all but the most hardpacked icy
snow, a knobby tire is all you need.
