It's the lack of uniformity in the conditions though right? It can be icy in one spot and clear a couple feet down the road where the sun hits.
I'm with you on people driving recklessly in the snow (we always joke that it takes 1-2 snowfalls for people to adjust their driving habits down here in NE), I think that's a combination of having to adjust to the conditions and not paying attention. I'm not with you on people OVERestimating the conditions though - that seems to say that you think people should be driving faster in the snow.
