It's not really the amount of snow that's the problem, it's the combination of snow and extremely cold temperature. The snow is freezing almost instantly and that's why we're all slipping and sliding around in our cars.
I've got Michelin Alpin's (front and back) and was still having a fun time trying to get around last night. I was going 20 km/h and the car was still skidding - and to make matters worse, all that packed frozen snow in the wells practically disables the brakes. I was doing leg presses on my brake pedal - felt like the equivalent of a 400 lb press for all the force I had to put on it just to slow from 20 to 0. Good thing there was almost nobody else on the road.
This is the first day this winter I can say that driving is *actually* dangerous, for reasons other than the drooling morons who slam on the brakes as soon as they see a snowflake.
