I knew that would be the answer. Like I said, I'm OK with taking the lane and making drivers go around. My biggest concern is that drivers will be so distracted by the conditions and so oblivious to the idea of biking in the snow that they won't be able to figure out what I am in time to slow down properly. I have lights, reflectors, and a vest that are visible from behind. I've never had problems at night under non-snowy conditions. With time, I'm sure I'll feel comfortable. There are just a lot of new variables and that I don't have experience with yet.
