Which is more dangerous?

Lowcarber

Both can be bad and dangerous depending on how severe the downpour or heavy the snowfall.
I have been out in a heavy downpour and had to pull over because there is no way I could see where I was going plus the car was hydroplaning.
I have been out in a bad snowstorm (being from eastern Canada getting it a lot this year) yet have never had to pull over - for one thing people tend to slow down - even in a snow storm I can still see better than in a rain storm - plus unlike in a rain storm - during a snow storm you have the plows out to clear the roads so that it makes them drivable. In a heavy rain downpour I have been in them where I just feel like the car is almost wading thru the water.
So my preference is a snow storm over a rain storm - I can see better and find drivers will take more care on the road for the most part.

THAT DEPENDS ON THE DRIVER,TIRE CONDITION,TIRE PRESSURES,BUT MAINLY THE DRIVERS EXPERIENCE TO THE SITUATION THEY ARE DRIVING IN.NEVER OVER DRIVE YOUR ABILITY.

driving in the snow ice is slippery and if your not used to it can cause a serious accident

Snow is worse. Drive slow.

They are both bad,but I have seen the time when it was raining so hard that I pulled over until it slowed up. I've seen it snow as bad too. But as a whole,I like the rain better than the snow.

could be either one, but I MUCH prefer snow than rain. I feel visibility (except in white-out conditions) is better with snow, especially at night because there is less glare. People drive slower in the snow as well, so accidents tend to be less severe when they do happen.

I would have to say the rain. I have almost a million miles in a semi, and I much prefer to drive in the snow, anyday. Most folks don't realize how dangerous slick wet roads are and drive much too fast on them. Plus, at night, visibility is reduced quite a bit, headlights just dont show as well on wet roads.
Most people realize snowy roads are slippery and tend to slow down, which probably saves their lives.

Both are but if it rains after a long dry spell the the wet roads would be more dangerous.

I think driving in the snow is more dangerous because it's the other driver you have to watch out for.
