OP - I would hope that biking to school will only be an option in good weather as your child does not need the contributing factor of any bad weather to dangerous road conditions.  In my mind this would include:

- expected rain
- rain and wet leaves
- area if neighbors are to pile leaves on the street for pickup
- freezing weather
- ice
- snow
- snow or ice left on roads from storms

for any and all of the above reasons, this is why most students do not bike to school on moderately heavy traffic road.   You are DH need to be available to take him in any such dangerous conditions.  And so much of the winter weather is just so unpredictable as to make it  hard to predict just what road conditions are on a specific roadway.  Sorry, but I would rethink this entire scenarios except in in early fall till daylight savings and spring after daylight savings months.  It is just plain not worth the risk.  Now is you had said it was a school in a completely residential area or with sidewalks that are just used by students, then it might be differnet, but not this scenarios.  Too many unknowns+driver inattention in general and river rushing in general.[/quote]
