Don't cars slide into you breaking every bone in your body in a cold, wet tragedy?
Could somebody explain to me how this works?
Yes (unless the roads are dry, though there is always the risk of black ice), yes, yes (unless the roads are clear, which is most of the time), no.
It's just like riding any other time, except it's colder, you got a lot more clothing on and when it's snowy/icy you go a bit slower, pay close attention (as you should any time) and greater care.
