Good job! 
I've been terrified by the thought of my front wheel coming loose ever since I crashed and broke out 2 front teeth as a teenager, so I always use gravity and rock the fork a little back and forth to make sure the wheel is properly centered and set before closing the skewer. It's a bit more hassle especially if I'm working on the bike on a stand, but worth the peace of mind.
Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin
