This makes me thankful I never ride HAVE to ride in the snow: we never get it here in the bay area (C.A). I do have a “snowbike” with a K-trak on it up in Tahoe and it’s fun to ride, but SLOW…
This particular comic is so reminescent of Bill Waterson (Calvin & Hobbes) that I wonder if you were inspired by it…
But, alas the snowman isn’t eating another, or being dismembered in someway. More likely Yehuda would have been turned into a perfect bicycling snow man and they would have built a snow car about to t-bone him.
I’ve actually done this, cross country in Sussex, UK, riding ten miles to my mothers for Christmas dinner. The middle frame is what I looked like – about 2 inches of snow settled up the front of me.
It took about 2 hours for my stomach to warm up to room temperature afterwards. I think all the blood withdrew to my core. I’m not convinced I would have made it if I stopped generating my own heat through pedalling!
Northern Ohio snow storms… What fun

Smith and Watterson are both residents of NE Ohio. It’s hard not to be inspired by the snow out there!
