re snow driving... 50% of the time the problem is all weather tires/summer tires in snow conditions. I live in snow country and see this all the time... the guy sliding through the intersection with summer tires who thinks if he just drives careful enough it will be OK.

I can see in areas like the south and the carolinas where people freak when there's snow - of course it's an unfamiliar condition.

Me I love it. Bring it on. Don't whine to me about how you hate winter if you are going to live in an area that gets snow every single winter. Instead of being grumpy about it, get out side and play! Snow shoe, XC ski, alpine ski, back country ski... enjoy it.
