Weather does not cause accidents, people driving too fast etc for conditions does.

The roads were littered with wrecks last night. The roads had just enough ice to make the surface smooth, and on the interstate the ice built despite the heavy traffic. My little side road had sand and calcium chloride dumped on thick, so the last two miles were fairly easy until I got to the hill at the entrance to the subdivision. Slick, but there was a team of Santas waiting to push cars that lost traction.

It's really simple, just slow down, no one seems to be able to do that.
