This holds some truth but probably not for the reason you think. While temperature is linked, it is actually about the amount of moisture in the air needed for it to snow.

The Met Office has said the periods of heavy snow are likely to cause disruption to travel and impact infrastructure. "You may want to consider the impact of the weather on your family and your community and whether there is anything you need to do ahead of the severe weather to minimise the impact," it said. The Met Office has issued two amber warnings for "strong winds bringing blizzard conditions" and up to 40cm of snow for an area stretching from Stoke-on-Trent to Durham, and North Wales. The warning means some roads and railways are likely to be affected by the adverse weather conditions, with people should expect longer journey times, and there could be some injuries from slips and falls. An amber warning is issued when there is the possibility of travel delays, road and rail closures, power cuts and the "potential risk to life and property". As the Arctic blast continues to cause freezing temperatures and "blizzard conditions" across the country, the Met Office has issued several amber weather warnings for snow and ice. "Failure to do so could incur a fine, but more importantly could place your life, the lives of your passengers and the lives of those around you in danger," the RAC says. In the eyes of the law, you need to get rid of that snow before you go. Most of us have been in that situation, and some may have been tempted to drive off anyway, but the bottom line is you need a clear view of the road before you do. This is supported by the section 41D of the Road Traffic Act 1988, meaning it is a legal requirement to have a clear view of the road ahead before you set off.
