Given the conditions you have to ride in I'm glad you don't have to compete with the cars.

we had traces of freezing fog in the a.m. and half an inch of snow overnight -- roads were *mostly* dry. I took an extra mile to stop by Panera for scones and had one of those "beginning of the season" mishaps. Oh, yea, that parking space had no *snow* - the car had left - but the freezing fog had left a sheen. So, when I aimed for it and put my foot down... splat!
Seems I've learned to fall nicely, though, so I *might* have lost a little skin from the elbow but naught else. By the time I was commuting back, the roads were mostly *dry.* We're due for "wintry mix" tonight but not in any intensity, and then it'll be rain and rain and then rain and wind -- but I don't have to work Christmas Eve.
Lots better than last year, when I had one or two honestly epic commutes.

Oh, and the sweeties at the LBS showed me how to get my hub-generator light on & off on my Gazelle, so I didn't hav eto have that feeble four dollar flashlight. However, it's a great backup.
