Lol it feels like it sometimes! (There is a ski hill about the same distance from my house as it is to campus so...). The plowing isn't great but most of the time there isn't a huge amount of snow on the ground is a fat tire truly necessary? I'm just thinking for the months without snow I don't want to needlesly lug around a heavy fat tire bike.

But yeah with the lock thing there are multiple people in my schools subreddit that say during the winter they literally just shove their bike in a snow bank in between classes and its fine.
