It is doable for sure. I did less than that maybe 6k for 2-3 years, in ALL weather conditions, thanks to schwalbe studded snow tires. My tips:
Get an AirZounds horn for your bike. Drivers are not good at looking out for cyclists, the 120 db airhorn blast wakes them up in the morning.
Front and rear lighting
A good rain cycling jacket that has zippers in the arm pits and back. By the end of a cold rainy trip you will be producing so much body heat you want to vent it as best as possible possible
for cold/freezing temps moisturize exposed skin before the trip, not after.
leave a set of shoes at work work
if your workplace has showers for certain jobs, talk to management about using them. It may make your coworkers happier
