I heard the same thing in Las Vegas. When half an inch of snow shut down McCarran in december 2008. I got pulled over by a patrol officer on my way to work, whizzing by cars going at a snail's pace, I was only doing the 45mph speed limit. The cop asked me why I was driving recklessly, I told him that I took drivers ed in the middle of winter in iowa in january 1985, he laughed and said he grew up in Minnesota and let me go.
