Driving in the Snow

To to Left is a picture from google traffic, two hours after I got to work... The chaos on the roads remain…
After driving to work today I came to the realization that people around here don't know how to drive in the snow (more like flurries). Now don't get me wrong, if the roads are bad I think people should drive with more caution BUT today there was no reason to be driving overly cautious. It wasn't really "snowing" just more like moderate flurries. The snow was not sticking to the road, so they were just wet. And as of when I got to work there was less than an inch of snow on the ground. But the reason I'm annoyed is, my commute is roughly 20 miles and it took me two and a half hours to get to work. TWO AND A HALF HOURS! My car calculates your trips average speed, mine 9 MPH. Again please don't get me wrong, I don't think people should close there eyes and hit the gas and I could understand that if it was snowing hard or snow was on the road or if it was icy or a bad accident but none of this was the case. Do you think there is anyway around people driving like idiots during bad weather?
