I reckon countries that are regular sufferers of snow fall, tend to have less cars per mile of road.
The UK needs next to nothing to make the traffic system grind to a halt, even a badly parked car or a fender bender in the wrong place can cause gridlock in some areas, the effects of snow can and does cause the same disruption & no matter how many snow ploughs & gritters we keep on standby the very fact that we have very few days of snow p.a. will keep us struggling at times.
What we really need is regular snow and one car per family

And all the Knobheads removing off the road who look suprised when the car doesn't handle as well as it does in the dry.
Last week my mate had his brand new (only on the road 4 days) taxi well and truly stuffed by some silly bint who thought she could take a sharp junction at a speed that wouldn't be good in the dry....and she had a toddler stood up between the seats.
No snow here today though...but fairly windy.

My drive to work in Bradford from my hotel normally takes 10 minutes. Took an hour and 40 minutes this morning
And it's still snowing. Could be spending the night at the bakery

I guess thats the point really, if she knew she was going to crash then I doubt she would have driven in that manner, its mostly down to experience the more snow we get the better we would become driving in it.

Nobody knows how to drive in snow anymore.......there's a generation of young drivers who haven't a clue
Gridlock because they're sat there in first gear @ 6000rpm......wondering why there's no forward motion

It's not like your day Al
Lots of kids got to comprehensive's rather than public schools and have to go home at night

I was sent home by lunchtime, most days
and it was only my prowess at playing the buffoon that helped me get a GCSE O-grade
