This weather really has me thinking about a MTB for this type of weather on the commute and use the road bike for summer commuting.
Mine is a hybrid with 700x28c Marathon Plus tyres.
Not sure an MTB would have helped, it was like hitting a patch of ice or diesel spill, but at least with an MTB you won't get the road bike dirty and the road bike is there as a back up if the MTB comes a cropper.

Gone on, you know you want to

Cannot quite believe I have done 7000+ miles on my bike
, and that is lockable front suspension.
Next bike will be a cyclocross without the front suspension.
