anything is alright just for snow for snow

... Why would you even ride when it's snowing. The tires will be colder than dick.

@touge2000 Mate I remember clearly that day, in the morning it was a normal winter day, in the afternoon it starting snowing like crazy... no one expected that snow. A lot of bikes were caught out... I was one of them but first instinct was to release air from my tires to get more grip, it worked, I was going faster than the cars, made it home 20 miles away in one piece.

Got caught in the snow storm, I stopped over and took release quite a lot of air from my tyres, probably about half, had a lot more grip and managed to get home OK... only to drop the bike outside the house as I slipped and dropped it:) Droped it 4 more times... during the snow. Thank God my bike is an XJ with engine bars.

@touge2000 rain is okay pending on the tyres

Its a £15,000 bike - add insurance and maintenance costs and its twice the price of a small car. There are many reason why bikes are better than cars for 99.9% of the time, this was the 0.1% when a car would have been better.

I checked the damage on the bike - there was very little - just some slightly scuffed paint work. It was, however, damaged on both sides so this was possibly his second crash of the day.
