I live about halfway between Raleigh and Greensboro, and think it's completely hilarious when some snow hits. As an upstate NY native I am unable to comprehend the behaviour of most drivers when the roads get at all slick: If it won't go, give it more gas!! If it does go, then go fast (SUV/pickup), or creep at 5 mph (autos).
The average driver around here has no comprehension of coefficient of friction ;ie it's Slippery, or of physics; an object in motion wil stay in motion, and it requires energy form traction to change direction.
When I commute in the bad stuff I keep a tally of SUVs and pickups that have spun out or gone off the road. It helps pass the time when it takes 2 1/2 hours to go 10 miles.
And there's more coming tonight, then freezing rain Sat. and snow Sunday. It should be very interesting....
