Default Todays query.... Riding in Snow and Ice

ok aside from taking it very easy, is there any advice anyone has for riding in the above conditions? not going out in it isnt really an option for me...

When I came out of my road this morning, where all the cars had driven down there were 2 tyre tracks of ice where the snow had been compacted. At this point I made a concious decision to ride on the remaining uncompacted snow figuring that would be better than riding on a track of pure ice... does anyone else do this?

I was also at a max of 10 mph and keeping relatively near the kerb in case I had to put my foot down - figured easier to balance and not lose my footing if I was against the kerb....

oh and I phoned work and told them I wasnt leaving til 9ish when the sun had been out for a while and was thawing the road a bit... so got a lie in too

but if youre caught in snow/ice, or have to go out in it, what do you do?
would be interested to know....
