I recall a few years back getting caught in a sudden storm. I decided to
pull off the road (there was a petrol station just ahead) because at
40km/hr, I could not see the end of my bonnet. There was no sign of the car
in front which was perhaps 4 car lengths ahead.
Just as I pulled out of that lane, a car came flying past, no lights, at
probably 80-100 km/hr. Unless he had radar or similar installed in the car,
there was no way he could have known what was ahead

Here it snows so seldom (once every 10 years or so) that no one would even
think about that. No one would consider that it would affect anything.
