There are large numbers of people who have difficulty driving in 
anything more slippery than rain.  This is most likely in areas which 
are known for the mildness of their winters.

Add to this the general temperament of the government to view itself as 
some kind of mother to the people, and you get urgent warnings telling 
people to regard as wild uncontrollable dangers things that in fact 
present a small and manageable risk.

I grew up in Michigan, and can tell you that even as experienced with 
the snow as they are there, the first significant snowfall of the winter 
is a refresher course in winter driving for just about everybody.

John
