It was simply the worst day for commuting today. 30+ cm on snow in the past 24 hours.

How would you guys take this: I was riding on a very icy street and my very well worn studs just couldn't grip enough and I went down. I got up quickly (no point bruising the ego more!) and was just about back in the saddle when I hear honking. I see that it's coming from a new full size Chevy SUV, the driver gives me the "hang loose" hand gesture. Do you think he was being an ass, or was giving props for biking on a day like today?
