The four moons of Jupiter are pretty easy to see
And by "four moons of Jupiter," read "four most visible (Galilean) moons of Jupiter."

If it snowed here in the winter and everything froze over until March or April, that would be another matter.
Up here in Minneapolis, Minnesota, things are pretty frozen until mid-to-late March. And there are plenty of cyclists on the streets all winter.

A PuTTy ssh session just doesn't need all that much speed.
True, but it does benefit from low latency.
The typical dial-up connection would have enough latency to make an interactive shell a bit annoying (I've done plenty of SSH-over-dialup). You can work around it by writing little scripts and then uploading them (or pasting them into the console window) instead of typing everything into the console manually, but it's still annoying.
