I'm no spring chicken and decided years ago that I was too
old to be crashing on my bike.
But I am now entering my third year of "ice biking" via
commuting to work. So far no problems with the snow or
cold (quite a bit of the former my first year, and the
latter last year here in western MA).
But cold rain? Pretty much avoid it. Just really can't
get into a rain, either drizzle or steady, during cold
weather.
