Does your driving get better or worse in the winter?

I find that when the winter rolls around, and the roads get icy and snowy, and the traction of my car starts to suck pretty badly, I start following the posted speed limits, paying more attention to the roads, and generally - I (seasonally, temporarily) become a much BETTER and MORE ATTENTIVE driver. I find that with most other people I encounter on the roads, this isn't really the case. Last week when the mini-snow storm hit Minnesota (my part of it, Minneapolis) - I was cut off by TWO people in the same mile-stretch, going at least 10-15 over the speed limit, who slammed to a stop to turn in front of me. I was super upset because I felt like I was changing all of my habits for the better, and there are STILL crazies out there who don't do anything to better their driving skills during the winter! It's so frustrating! Anyway, I nearly slid into the median in the roads because I had to come to a stop so quickly - on snow, no less. Anyway. Do you ever feel the same way? That you improve your driving skills and habits during the winter, and no one seems to return the favor? People still follow too close, speed, cut people off, and act like maniacs? Or is this just me?
