Driving in the snow is one of my favorite pasttimes. Once you master it, its alot of fun. Powerslides are yours at every imagineable corner, donuts in empty parking lots, etc, etc.
So far this winter we have had 114 inches of snow. It stops NO ONE. I moved here 3 years ago from having lived all my life afraid of 2 inches. Now I know no fear but.........I do know respect. Just like I did when it came to hurricanes.

I never even entertained staying home until I was stuck perpendicular in my little front-wheel two seater on I-95 in the last storm. Needless to say, drivers are nuts in the Northeast and it was terrifying. The storm we're getting now... well... I'm not interested in being a martyr. I'm opting for a personal day; the first one I've ever taken for snow in my entire work career.
Where I live ( central Minnesota) the snow depth isn't the real problem.
Blizzard conditions where you lose visibility is the problem. When that happens, snow plows are pulled off the road and no travel is advised until visibility improves.

sounds more like a bored kid out playing ,rather than someone -- driving to work.
I got stuck once in only about 8 inches. It was still snowing heavily and pretty dark and they hadn't plowed yet. I misjudged where the road ended and the shoulder began. A passerby helped push us out. I get stuck on ice or snow at the top of our hill at the red light so I learned to just keep going or stop at the very edge. To get up hills you keep your speed up and ignore stop signs and red lights if traffic is light.
