In general, if it's actively snowing, and it's 'sticking' to the roads, you should not be driving on it at all.

The snow reduces visibility.

Accumulating snow is always slippery.

Most snow-accidents happen while it is snowing. And even if you have super-duper winter tires and 4 wheel drive. That doesn't stop someone else who doesn't have those things from crashing into you.

And if there's an accident, you now put all the first responders in a dangerous situation.

Once it stops snowing and plowing and salting takes place, then you can drive on it... carefully. And if you're in a state that doesn't have plows or salt, wait for the natural above-freezing temperature of the ground and air melt it away.
No, there are places where it snows constantly (like upstate NY where I live). The problem arises because people in the south don’t understand how to drive in it. It doesn’t matter how heavy your car is, that it has all wheel drive, or that you have magical snow tires. The only thing that matters is that when there is snow on the road you drive very very very slowly. There’s a reason that an inch of snow shuts everything down in the south but people actively drive up where i live when we get a daily dose of 1-3 inches, and its not just because we have plows.
