Winters here do make it quite onerous. Like when it’s dark at 4pm, the temps are in the single digits (F), driving snow limits visibility – and you’re sharing a road with drivers who don’t expect you to be there, and also which has been narrowed by snowbanks – it can become a death wish. Yes, you could still do it, but the amount of gear and chutzpah involved just trying not to die is not for the faint of heart. Frostbite is the best case scenario, and no one will care that you died because they’ll just say you shouldn’t have been doing it, no reasonable person would, etc.

Oh no, the horrors of single digits temperatures. The horror of putting on a coat and a warm pair of pants! That’s so much gear.
With basic preparation, frost bite is not a risk.
Weather is not a concern, reckless and incompetent drivers are the concern
