I ran last winter with Michellins and no additional weight. My job allows me to go flex time when it snows, so I just have an extra cup of coffee and read the news paper and wait for everyone else to clean the roads for me and then drive in later. On the real bad days I use public transportation. So out of last winter I slept in or goofed off 5 or 6 times and rode the bus 3 or 4 times. Just the price that I am willing to pay for the good times.

It is not good in frozen sleet and it does not want to play trail blazer especially in lake effect snow. New shoes and some weight will not change that.
