Alot of people slowed down.
There was a lightning at about 5:15pm and then came the massive down pour.

same day, i was heading westbound on marine to get to the airport around 6pm... on the westbound lane on marine in front of the kia dealership the water was so deep i was creating a bow wake in front of me  ... things were made worse by a hydrolocked dodge caravan on the shoulder lane caused traffic to bottleneck, which was sort of a good thing because it started off looking like a deceptive shallow puddle and before you know it it was getting really deep. if you were going at least 50kmh i'm sure you would have done a lot of damage (ie. the caravan). traffic was making slow progress until this asshat in a green 4dr civic went full tilt through the lake because he wanted to get around the caravan in the shoulder lane and beat us off the traffic light at the last intersection... well, by the time i had finally reached cambie, the civic was dead at the stoplight in the center lane, causing more gridlock. asshole

All winter tires perform roughly the same at their stated speed range... the difference is when there is water mixed in, and when people wants to be jackasses.. the more expensive and recent version the tires, the larger of those envelopes are and in the end saving more people.
Having snow tires, still don't mean you can drive like it is a nice summer day when there is 5" of snow on the road.
