Something about snow/ice makes people (myself included) in the south revert back to the first time they were behind the wheel of a car. The vehicles here are also not prepared for it. Most folks dont purchase vehicles made for winter weather conidtions (no front wheel drive or 4x4). Not to mention the tires, many of the people on the road in the south are riding on nearly bald tires because there isnt traditionally a need for anything else. Just a big mess that will probably never be fixed.

Being an outsider, those in the southern states don't see snow or ice that often. That and the snow they got was similar to what we see in the Northwest wet and falls just at or slightly below freezing and turns almost instantly to ice. I will take snow at 15 to zero, rather than the crud the south got. Cold dry snow has about the same traction as a wet road, not wet ice!
