I live in the southern part of Arizona.

Snow? What's that?

I don't understand the question. It's winter? Ride. It's cold? Ride.
Shinpads don't fit over winter clothes? Wear them under. Or buy bigger
ones. You definitely don't want to stop using pinned pedals, especially
if it's going to snow...

The stretchy lycra style long cycling tights will keep your legs warm
and they fit easily under leg armour. The tights come in different
weights. The thicker heavier weights are warmer. You can get padded
or non-padded tights. I go for the non-padded and wear them over my
regular cycling shorts.

If it's seriously cold you can get more serious Winter cycling
pants/tights. Cycling clothing is usually tight fitting so you'll be
able to wear it under your leg armour.

Shop around cause cycling clothes can be expensive. There's discount
shops like 'Performance Bike' (http://www.performancebike.com/) that
have lower cost house brands. 'Col d'Lizard'
(http://www.coldlizard.com/) also has good stuff and good prices,
especially when they go on sale at the end of the Winter season.

I dont really wear shingaurds in the winter at all, unless I wear
shorts.( Yes sometimes I do wear shorts in the snow)

Snow is a lot softer to fall in, and unless I do unispins or somthing
like that were my feet leave the pedals, I usually dont need to worry
about metal pedals. But wearing them over regular long pants isnt too
bad.

I wear my normal 661's over my snowpants, or if it's not too cold out
(say, above 0F) I'll wear shorts with the 661's. The only problem I've
had with cold was last year once on a really cold day... my toes
froze up a bit because I wasn't moving them in my shoes 😉 After that,
as long as I at least kept wiggling them sometimes whilst riding, they
were fine.

Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total
obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and
through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see
its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will
remain.

I pull the trouser legs up to above the knee, then don the 661 4x4's.

if you're cheap like me, putting your current guards under your
snowpants works fine. my first uni winter is coming, and i can't wait
to get on the snow chain and/or studded tire.

I'm worrying about my tyres the most (yes, i have many unicycles 😉 ),
have heard of the maxxis Creepy Crawler cracking when ridden in cold
conditions.. Do they?
Are all the sticky tyres the same? Will my Kenda Kinetics on my onza
muni crack?

We'll have -25C (-13F) many days this winter, and some days reacing
down to -30C (-22F), and colder than -35C many at night around NYE...

Will this be a problem?

Snow?

I'm happy if it gets down to 50°F. It's just a comfortable temperature
for sports.

I dont think the creepy crawlers crack...I got my new KH trials uni for
xmas last winter and rode it a lot in the freezing cold and I didnt
hear any cracking. I never rode it in much snow though, just in
freezing weather.

just popped out of nowhere, all zoomed in on the camera 🙂
(p.s. im not insulting you)

That series of pics was made by an unknown-to-me landscape
photographer who just spotted me. I don't know why he included that
close-up, probably with the purpose to scare you. :-)
