I commuted 6 years by bicycle in Luleå, Sweden. Now I live further south and the best snowfall I get is about a meter thick, sure that's an inconvenience but with good plowing that's no problem. The cold can be an issue, but even at -13F/-25C with proper clothing that is actually preferable for me, I've heard this can be bad in Chicago. A one hour commute in the winter is not for everyone, but dropping by the store 1-4km away is practical.
