An 8% grade for 1 mile is more than I, or most people (even cyclists) for that matter is willing to tackle on a bike every morning.

Sorry, but where I live, 1200 ft is a hill. Coincidentally, it's pretty close in size to these hills
The Santa Teresa Hills which I used to ride up most mornings, back when I worked in the Bay Area. Never worked out the exact grade, but it's about 1.3 miles, mostly in my lowest gear. Now I'll grant you I never had to do it in the snow, so I'll let you slide on that.
