  1. It's most dangerous when its actively snowing (or sleeting or whatever). That probably won't be the case on Christmas day. This is because its hard to do anything but maintenance plowing/salting until it actually stops.
  2. Stuff can refreeze overnight but that's why they put the salt on the roads to lower water's freezing point even further. But still worth it to be careful. If you notice icy spots on the walk to the car that'll be a good sign of what to expect.
  3. Even then, the key to ice and snow is to go *slow* and give yourself lots of distance. Some crashes are unavoidable in these conditions but a few days after the last snow drop? That's just from bad driving generally even if slippery ice is a factor.
