Speed limits are actually well below what is reasonable for ideal conditions - at least 20-30% below. They're about right if there's inconsistent winter conditions (mix of snow and ice) and a bit too high for severe conditions (deep snow / poor vis). In normal winter conditions, 10 over is totally fine. All of this assumes, of course, that you have the correct tires. A manual transmission doesn't hurt, either.
