Where do you live: Boston: MA
Do you ride "YEAR ROUND"?: yes.
Lowest temp you'll ride in? 15 F for the high of the day, maybe colder
When do you "PUT UP THE BIKE" (month or whatever) for the year?: NEVAR
When do you "BRING IT BACK OUT"?": Whenever it's nice out
Do you "RIDE IN THE RAIN"?: Yes, but not downpours
Do you "RIDE IN THE SNOW"?: No way. that's why I have a Subaru.

I ride every day in the summer, unless there's a hurricane coming through, or a day full of heavy thunderstorms where I expect lots of puddling on the roadway.

I ride in the winter whenever it's convenient. Warm spells for sure, but I ride in the cold too. I won't ride if it's expected to be below 40F and raining. I won't ride if it's snowing. I won't ride within a day or two of clearing of a snowstorm, because of all of the rocksalt and gravel.

I considered getting a dual sport and getting some nice snow tires, but I'd be too concerned about an idiot plowing into me because they don't know how to drive in the snow. I'll stick to my WRX with studless snow tires. plus, the snow drifting in the wrx is too much fun to pass up.
