As far as weather goes, when is it a bad idea to drive? In other words what conditions should I avoid as far as likely hood of accidents?
I know rain/snown and fog make it harder, but at what point should I be off the road? Should I go by sheer amount or weather advisory? Also what aboiiut high winds/gusts?

Visibility has a lot to do with it. If it's pouring so hard you can't see very far it's better to not be driving in that. Same with snow.
Oh and ice. Fuck ice, stay home.

Road conditions and visibility, as relating to your car. If you got summer slicks on and the roads are iced over, you don't drive, you walk. If the roads are super wet you drive slow, and if you can't see more than two car lengths in front of you you drive even slower.
As long as your car is physically capable of moving down a road (road isnt iced or flooded) driving is fine, but the more shit blocking your view the slower you go, unless you want to pancake yourself under a 10mph semi

>ice. 4wd, ABS, snow tires, ect do nothing when you have 0 traction.
My shitbox does fine in everything else because I know how to drive and adapt to the conditions. Except for ice. No amount of skill or equipment helps in 0 traction situations.

If I can see then I can go
Depends on where you live and what you get
As long as your car is properly equipped and you're experienced enough there isn't really a weather type that should prevent you. The true "danger" on public roads will be situations where retards who should not be driving even in the best of conditions will go full retard and do the exact opposite of what they should and pose a huge danger to everyone
They occascionaly close mountain roads here in Norway if they are in for super heavy snowfalls, with the reason being to prevent people who aren't properly equipped and/or experienced from getting stuck on a snowed out road and in need of help that cannot get there because the roads by then would be covered in three feet of snow
Adjust your speed and driving style in accordance with the weather

Note; this is written with though to "normal" weather types, aka anything that won't result in a natural disaster or is so freakishly outlandish for the area that its pretty much unthinkable

Heavy snow and fog for visibility, and heavy snow/ice for traction/grip

Are you serious??

When you don't trust other people's ability, you may think you're fine driving on the road but not everybody has stuff like Traction Control and ABS Braking. If idiots drive like shit when its warm, dry, and clear just stay away if its like snowing a fuckton or an absolute downpour. You will never be 100% safe on your drive but no matter how good you drive wont do shit when some idiot slams in the back of you.
No matter the conditions just continue on seriously 99% of pile ups are because some dumb whore slams on her breaks when it gets a little foggy
