We used to ride our mountain bikes on 50 mile rides in the snow on pavement. It wasn't that bad, although I do remember crashing my bicycle on the way to work in the snow on a down hill. I rode home and got the car.
Once finishing a century, I was a strong cross wind in the rain on my road bike running 20mm slicks. If I would go faster than 10 mph it would slide. The obvious choice was to stay below 10.
Basically it pays to keep it in the envelope.
