I don't think there's any question. Plowing would need to happen, but a layer of hard-pack and or ice is preferable to what we've had most winter. Studded tires would be a must, but they really are anyway for anyone that really relies on their bike for daily transportation. The absence of salt and sand (especially heavy this year) would be a huge satisfier for the health of our bikes and dramatically reduce maintenance and replacement of equipment. You've got my vote.
