By the sounds of it, there is very little chance that such a charge would hold up if the officer simply handed out the ticket to a driver travelling at less than the posted speed limit in the same way he would hand out a conventional speeding ticket.

If you put it that way, a conventional speeding ticket has proof either by radar, pacing, or visual estimation by a trained officer.
In this case, a ticket for too fast for condition for someone going the speed limit can still hold in court. Driver could be paced, radar'd or visual estimates point out the driver was going the speed limit, but is too fast for conditions with conditions being snow, white out, fog, heavy rain (logically speaking)
