My path is mostly plowed in the winter and only has a couple of hills so I was thinking that maybe a decent Cross bike with studded tires could be a good winter commuter.. does anyone winter commute on a Cross? I don't know much about 'em and if that's a dumb idea or not. My other option is looking into a slightly newer mountain bike than 2 decades old.

I don't, but the bike room is full of them. They seem to be a popular choice.
