The difference between Canadian an US Drivers In The Snow

We are from Essex County which is a far south as Canada gets and when I was a kid we got snow,,,lots of snow and I still remember my Dad driving sideways down our street in his "mafia cruiser" a 70's vintage Chrysler fury two-door which I'm pretty sure was as long as my 4 door dually dropping me off to school and going to work, it was like hitting the rides at Boblo Island in the winter!!! Now I giggle my Irish can off every time I hear the grand daughter has a snow-day when it only 2 odd inches,i really hate to say the old "when I was your age,,,," to her.
