Today is a perfect example. We had some freezing rain overnight followed by an inch of snow. I have winter tires on my bike (Michelin something or another, have also had the Contis in the past) and I think I would have been fine.....but I have no confidence in the cars around me being able to navigate those conditions in a way that keeps me safe.

It's a mix of quiet residential streets with wide bike lanes, MUP, and about 1000 ft of singletrack. When I have time and the weather allows, I add an additional 3-6 miles of singletrack.
I also wouldn't ride in places that presented significant exposure to fast moving cars in slippery conditions - don't blame you there.
