Just a cozy and mild autumnal day for Finland's standards  (Meanwhile, when it's -2C here we nearly die and resort to a sedentary life spent in front of the heater whilst being covered by a quadruple layer of wool)

5°C, and dropping...tomorrow min 3°C and the day after 2°C. means its freezing at my work place and most likely foggy like hell with zero view distance in the morning and evening. its just a ~30km drive but it feels always going through three different climate zones

Had to turn on the heater for the first time, we went from going around in t-shirt to wearing quilted jackets in the span of a few hours

Maybe there's a reason why people slow down when the temperature hits 0 Celsius. 
I dunno, just a thought.
Edit:
Also, go out 5-10 minutes earlier to wherever you're going as that's all you win/lose by slowing down 10-20km/h. |

@Nui
Going from 100 to 90-80 doesn't sound that bad to me to be honest. And it sounds like he's not driving on the freeway/autobahn/high-way rather than on smaller dirt-roads where the road doesn't seem to be as optimal as the bigger roads. And if that's the case then he'd be really pissed here as the max limit on those roads usually is 70 (sometimes hits 90 on the little better ones).
Edit:
Also you can't always tell if the road is slippery or not as it is a lot of times quite treacherous and probably why some people rather take it slower and safer rather than just risking it.
Hell, I'm in no hurry to drive myself (or in most cases others as well) early into the grave just because I was stressing to be somewhere.

Somehow every time we get first snow I'm like "damn it's gonna be slippery", then I head out for the first time in summer tires and every time it's like "damn, it wasn't that bad at all".
Seriously, we were at lights yesterday and I hear people slipping their winter tires there while I had zero slip on summer tires :l
If you got good winter tires on, there is like zero things to worry about, I could go on all winter with summer tires easily.

Going from 50 to 40 won't take much longer for you to get where you're going, however it does increase safety immensely when driving in less than optimal conditions. So I don't see the problem to be honest. But yeah, you (not specifically you but whoever) can complain all you want if that makes you feel better (it won't change the other drivers behavior though).

At what point do you care about a pointless time loss? It will annoy me a bit, and the time loss can accumulate when traffic light sections are now out of sync with you, so instead of going through a series of green lights, you hit every red light. And again for sensible no reason. Usually it doesn't anger me or anything, but it shall not go unnoticed and everyone shall be appended to my black book. They'll have it coming, I say!
