4. And both rain and snow affect skateboards as while as people walking.

My point is that there are better solutions to the "Problem" of having to walk a mile to a bus stop. My sister, who use to take the bus, made a comment on what people wore at her office. People who walked or took the bus tended to wear heavier coats then people who drove. People who walked or took the bus tended to wear footwear to match having to walk or stand in such weather, people who drive did not. I have walked in the rain and snow, it is not bad IF YOU DRESS FOR IT. It is only "yucky", if you want to wear in such weather the same as you want to wear on a dry summer day. I have biked in snow and ice, not a problem. I have walked in some of the worse weather short of a Hurricane or Tornado, not a problem IF YOU DRESS FOR THE WEATHER. I have no problem walking through suhc slush when I am wearing the footwear such weather calls for.

Given the growing use of Gore-Tex type water proofing, it is even less of a problem then it was 20 years ago when the only effective wet weather footwear were rubber boots. Such rubber boots did NOT weigh that much, and wear effective at keeping your feet dry. With modern Gore=Tex type "Breathable" water proof boots, you are talking even lighter footwear.

Yes if you want to wear dress shoes or tennis shoes in such weather, such weather is "Yucky", but if you wear the proper footwear, not a problem.
