I think its absolutely the right decision. Even if you feel you are capable, this type of weather is unpredictable and if something happens emergency crews have to risk their lives to help you. And yeah there have been nasty storms in the past and no bans but there were significantly fewer cars in the road in the 30s, 40s, 60s, etc. There were also a lot of people who were trapped & unable to be helped. Also tyranny? Hmmph. Same people who would bash the government or someone else if they were stuck & weren't helped. Also what's a ban without consequences? Ineffective. That's about it.
