Driving in heavy falling snow (particularly at night using headlights) could lead (especially if you were tired) to 'tunnel vision' where the surroundings seemed to be stationary and the snow driving towards you rather like watching a film or computer game. All sense of reality is suspended and it an be heightened by the absence of sound (due to the packed snow on the road surface).
Potentially dangerous . . .
