Same as a thunderstorm: you stay inside if you can, dress for the weather if you can't, and drive slow with your headlights on.
Not too slow though. There's caution and there's "I am not comfortable driving, so I will go so slow it causes an accident".
If regular traffic is going 40 and you're going 10 but no brake lights, it's dangerous for other drivers.
Anyone going 40 in a blizzard is already driving dangerously.
There are blizzards and there are blizzards.
If 40 isn't safe to drive, you probably shouldn't be on the road in the first place. For the non-white out, heavy snow variants, too slow is just as dangerous as too fast.
