I live in a similar climate in central Oregon. If you ride fixed you will have more control over breaking. ( think driving a manual vs. automatic transmission). It is still pretty sketchy though. If you plan on riding in the snow a lot I would suggest riding a slightly smaller frame than you are used to because you will have more control. I think someone makes a studded tire also.

It's up year round here, but no snow. It handles wind with no issue. But I don't think I'd leave it up for snow.

Mine's been outdoors since I got it last year and it's been great. I live in Georgia and we did have some freezing temps but not in the sustained way you'd have up north.

Mine is outside all weather in Pennsylvania all year. I don't store my bike because I don't stop riding it when it gets cold. The water resistance lasts about a year. After that it's a dust cover. For the price you can afford to buy a new one each year.

Hello. Yes, this Michelin is by far the smoothest riding and best performing tire available and that includes wet/snow. It is also the quietest tire available too. Thank you, BWT

Yes it's great! I had knee surgery and was told to get a recumbent bike for when it gets "tight" in cold weather. I have it on tile flooring and it is stable and sturdy. Pedals are smooth but get tighter depending in how you set it.

I bought the E300S in May 2012 and my daughter has riden it constantly for all but 2 months during the snowfall and it is quite well built. The tires are great and wear slower than I would have thought because they are the larger pnuematic tires (highly recommended than the smaller solid hard rubber tires). The only thing I will recommend is that after about 3-6 months of use check the chain and ensure it is still tight.

It works fine in the rain, no issues. I haven't encountered any snow so I can't answer to that.

I bought a Snow Joe 622U1 in 2011. I was impressed. I live in NE Missouri and do get snow, heavy and wet at times, and use it about 5 -8 times a season Not like a big, gas one, but it beats shoveling.. No problems until tonight (feb, 2014, 4th time this season.). I hit a chunk of ice and it broke a belt. I got my money's worth.

I sure didn't have a problem with it. We had quite a bit of snow this winter and mine worked perfectly. Mine is pretty exposed to the west and north so could be the snow was blown off. I love mine. Saves trips out to the mailbox.

Tom I live in central upstate NY also and u don't have any more snow and ice than we do here. If it breaks you'll have hood damage to I would think. It is very well constructed and I would never worry about it breaking.

It has done very well for us on both pavement and some area trails. No major mountain biking around here though so I'm not sure about that kind of performance. Hope that helps!

I'm in Portland Oregon, don't really have heavy snow but rain. I like the 2nd mode and that works well in heavy rain.

Had mine two years. Live in southern Illinois. Had a bunch of snow this year. No issue.

It seems as though it's fine on the para. I've been riding in a few areas around Denver that have rolling hills and on the downslope it managed to pick up quite a bit of speed while still giving a decent resistance on the legs.
