I rode today! It was either grab my bike off the front porch and go, or spend another hour digging out the car, so it was an easy choice.

(I'll still have to do the shovelling tonight, though.

)
Slipped and slid all over the neighborhood streets, but the main roads were better, as long as I stayed in the right tire track of the car lane. I did pull over a few times to let cars pass, including one semi-intentional slide into a snowback along the side! I thought it was rather graceful; I didn't fall, just stopped with my front tire embedded in snow. Had the bad weather bike, of course, a Huffy internal 3-speed, so I didn't mind getting it all snowy. Some guys in a pickup truck went by with one pointing at me and saying something to his buds; I just waved. Fun.
