i had to make the same kind of decision today. it had snowed most of yesterday and continued through the night. part of the problem is knowing the exact conditions of the road most of the commute is on. the night before i decided the conditions were too quesitonable to go ahead and ride, then this morning i changed my mind which you guys probably understand. after i got to the main road, i decided that i just didn't have the control i needed around traffic. the wheels were to squirrly in the snow even with studs. had the plow come through and gotten most the loose stuff off, i woulda been ok.

i was too uncomfortable around any kind of traffic when there was more than a small possibility i could take a dive.
