Deeper snow and wet snow requires a lot more exertion as you push your way through the snow. Ice causes traction problems. Studded snow tires, available for some bikes, will prevent rear wheel spin and front wheel steering problems. Mountain bikes are a good winter bike choice, they are designed for off-road conditions. Recumbent bicycles  are close to the ground so when you fall you don’t have far to go. Michigan Central Rail Road records (from Detroit) list property transactions starting in the 1850s. Nelson D.
