Has anyone tried cycling in 2-3” of new snow?

Ride as if you are riding a bike in snow, its snow different to riding any other time. The ground is rock solid so watch that front wheel on slippery bits.
If its really snowy, watch for it building up as mud would and slowing you down but given most of todays temps are well under freezing it should be quite powdery.
Front mechs may freeze and snow may bugger up the shifting and rim brakes

Thanks for the advice all. Anyway: mission accomplished - 6.5 miles , no spills. The powder was best: good traction, like dry sand as someone said. The journey home tonight could be hard-packed ice that cant be good. Obligatory picture attached.
My toes are bloody freezing mind.

Picture from last winter - also in Berlin the temperature is currently down to -10°C and less (it feels like -20°C really it does! - I just came back from the kindergarden...) we had no snow this year...
Ride on!
