NR-Let me know how your snow ride goes. I've never ridden with snow on the road. Salt is not a problem but unseen ice is. I am in no way interested in canceling my ride but my concern is hard packed snow that becomes ice.
Battery powered socks; ask on BBCTalk, I think a few club members are electrified.
I will also note that with sandals a damp inside sock swapped out to an outer sock becomes a toasty igloo.
I'm concerned about the trail portions of the route. I can't find my old all on-road route but between these routes you have a close approximation:
