Me too. If there's lots of grip (ie not in this weather), I sometimes counter-lean to get a better view up ahead. I also counterlean when u-turning as it lets you get the bike round in a smaller circle (as the bike is leant over more).

In this weather I usually try to keep the bike fairly upright and lean off (reasonably restrained, drop shoulder, head leaning towards mirror, etc) to get more grip. Not knee-down attempting, monkey hanging off the side, style, but just enough to decrease the lean needed to get round a bend.
