I do this, and fenders and front mudflap definitely do the job of protecting your bike's jewels. I have the regular SKS fenders, but the longboards are no doubt far better for keeping the salt away. Also, frame-saver is pretty effective.
I wish they didn't salt the roads so much around here, but not for the bike's sake; it's just... they way, way over do it with the salt trucks. The roads and bordering soil are rendered grainy white at the slightest hint of precipitation.
