There's another way to look at this. The cop was sending you off on side roads, probably with less traffic, and with the knowledge that weather conditions were poor. The fact that he 'checked on you' might have been that he was concerned more for your well-being than whether or not you were obeying his instructions.

My thoughts. Half empty or half full? We'll never know because the question was never asked. Since the ISP has take-home squads (thus being assigned to one trooper), you could still pursue it--in a polite and curious manner--by calling the local post.
Perhaps--
Highway crews or the trooper have noted your presence on a regular basis and they were preparing to aggressively treat/salt/sand/spray/plow the highway and though it would be a good idea if you were safely re-routed around the mess for benefit of all?
