There's no milk to be found anywhere, and there's like maybe half an inch.
That is so true! Actually, there's a fourth category - drivers who slow down so much that they're barely moving at all, even if there's just a dusting of snow. I was down in Fairfax a few years back - there was maybe 1/4 inch of snow, and people were going 15mph on I-66 Every single school was closed, and half my co-workers didn't bother to show up that day (the other half were either people like myself, on travel from points north, or people who had grown up in New York/Boston/Chicago/etc).
