Weather stats don't really paint the full picture though. Snow clearance is not great even in years with less snow and there is often ice/slush buildup that lasts for days after snowfall (often until the next real "storm"). I don't know if this actually makes cycling more difficult in practice, but fewer people would be willing to do it.
