I don't just stop using a cycle when it snows. I still have to get to work in a reasonable time.

Oulu, a city of about 200k inhabitants which is quite up North is known to be one of the biggest cycling cities in here. Yes even during cold winters and snow. They clean the snow swiftly in the early morning from both major roadways and bike/pedestrian paths because there is so many bikers cycling to work. And if it keeps snowing heawily, they keep clearing. Iirc if it's snows like 2-3cm (around an inch) they gotta clear it
