I know what you are saying Z, people around NW Ohio seem to get caught up in the local new "storm reports" (which means 1-3"). Next morning they are driving 40 mph on roads that have a dusting. I do not understand it, when I was a kid it took a 4-6" snow to cancel school. Nowadays, they close with an inch on the ground. IMO there is no reason for anyone to drive 25 mph less than the published speed limit when there is less than 2" of snow on the road. Ice or heavy slush is cause for concern, but light snow, WTF? I live 40 miles from my job in the city and I typically drive the speed limit (or more) for the first 25 miles then I hit civilization and a more "urban" setting and this is where I start coming up on the occasional 15mph in a 45 on wet salted road type drivers. It makes me want to pull them over and strap them into my car and take them on a death defying ride down a snowcovered road at ridiculous speeds until they swear they will never drive like a granny again! (maybe I just need to leave for work a little earlier and drink a little less coffee!).
