Wet, sloppy snow, no significant plowing yet. Wiped my glasses a whole lot.
But as I'm getting more secure in my lane positioning, I had no problem with traffic, they just hadda wait. I got no hassles, though I got a lot of slush splashed on my legs.

jschen - last fall I decided my 11 mile ride was too short to bother with water, as well. Especially in the winter, when the damn thing freezes solid halfway through anyway. I am a bit thirsty at the other end, but not badly so, and I don't seem to be fatiguing at the end.
