What will happen is that you will adjust your speed to the conditions,
but the idiots who think the number posted on the sign is appropriate for
all condition will plow on at unappropriate speeds. These are the folks
who cause the giant pileups you see on the local news. This is especially
evident during heavy fog.

I wish everyone would figure this out. It is so obvious, but missed by
so many.
