Read that again. It actually shows at 90mph its 4 degrees colder than at 60mph. if your looking at the graph the pink was how it USED to be calculated. the yellow is how its now calculated.

I haven't riden ON snow, but I have riden in a snow storm. It's not something I'd recommend if you can avoid it.

You just need the right bike for the job, is all. I ride 365 days a year on my Ural; snow rides are one of the most fun filled things to do on three wheels...

I've ridden through snow. A few inches of powder isn't bad. When it starts to ice is when you start to worry... or go to your sidecar rig

 Unfortunately one snowstorm a decade is not justification for a sidecar. That sure is a nice bike though, I really kinda want one.

I could give you several more reasons that have nothing to do with winter weather, but it would clutter up this thread and take it way off topic.
