Friday I rode - still a bit slippery in spots, and the warm Thursday with rain turned into frozen footprints and tracks by Friday morning. Rough ride, maybe the only time I've really wished I had suspension or tires (much) wider than the Schwalbe Winter 700x35.
I rode on Friday as well, but perhaps conditions for me were better than you. I do have 45 mm Nokian W106's, but I am thinking that I have the pressure too high to make use of the wider profile.
This upcoming week is going to be challenging with the snow and cold, again!
