Apart from that majority of drivers were very accommodating, especially as I was riding much wider than usual, to avoid the slush collection/not quite slush border, that was lining the kerb...
Yeah, this was an interesting effect of the conditions.
Drivers were going a) much more slowly than usual and b) could immediately understand why you were riding in what they would usually perceive as an intolerably wide position, because they could see you were much safer riding in the tyre channels.

Most could. Unfortunately not the knob in a lorry who tailgated me down Mare Street.

Didn't work for me sadly - three or four ludicrously dangerous close passes on dalston lane and queensbridge road. I'd have sped up and remonstrated if I thought I wouldn't have just skidded and fallen off.

slushy ride in even on the main roads I take.
Fucking hate slush.
Did get a snowy ride through the park adjacent to my work, which was fun.
Witnessed the aftermath of three car accidents this morning, some drivers don't seem to get how to drive in adverse conditions.
