That depends on how "hard" the snow (or ice) is, among other things. Here's some of my winter unicycling fun from over the years: http://www.unicycling.com/winteruni/

What kind of uni do you ride? My brother has a 20" trials that has somewhat hard of a time in anything over 3" of snow whereas my 24"x3" muni has no problem in that much snow. On a uni with all the weight on the one tire you go through the snow with much more traction than a bike. (unless you have a bald tire)
My 26x3 seems to be a snow machine to me. I like riding on the groomed ski area trails which are hard packed enough to float on, I recommend at night with a full moon or a light onboard🙂 . Ocassionally I run into a snowcat driver who can't believe his eyes.
