As a person who has been a professional driver and pulled mountainous regions in this sort of weather I can confidently say that Phil has made the correct decision.
 
We old truckers have a saying that goes something like this:
 
"When there's snow, you go slow. When there's ice, it's no dice!"
 
There is no sense in being out in this stuff to attend a function that is an _elective_. I agree that a trial run should be rescheduled...with a close eye on the weather forcast.

Someone mentioned that there may 'only' be a traffic jam. All it takes is ONE moron who THINKS they can _Drive_ in this stuff to cause big problems! ...ESPECIALLY where there is a large number of vehicles on the roads increasing the percentage of such a fool screwing things up for everyone else.
 
Kudos, Phil ;)
