My vocabulary is obviously impaired as I was unable to comprehend the necessity for such frequent utilization of gross profanity, and subsequently suspended my visitation to said site after perusing the first two unbearably grammatically incorrect sentences.:-X23
LOL--I have to agree with that guy totally. I was born and raised in upstate NY and moved to NC ten years ago. I get a kick out of the way people down here freak out over the mention of snow. The grocrey stores go empty for some reason and everyting shuts down. Why? We never closed anything back home unless there was 8'of snow coming down. They can't drive worth a crap in it either and think nothing will happen to them. Heheh...yeah right! I was behind some guy in a small SUV going down the road the other day. I had my truck in 4 high tooting along about 3 car lengths behind him. He kept trying to speed up and he hit a big patch of ice and...well...he actually scared me. He went sideways and all I could picture was my 6050 lbs. truck and 300lbs. winch bumper creaming this little suv into the ditch. Luckly I was able to slow my truck down and stop until he got himself straight again. I just sat there and thought "You dumb@$$." Had he been going slower and kept his foot OFF the gas he would've been able to get over it without any problems. All well. I had fun pulling people out of ditches the past couple of days though

Ya know, I'll agree that there was an abundance of profanity, but I can still see this dude's point. I live in western WA, where I think that we've probably seen CUMMULATIVE 4 feet of snow in the last ten years. About every ten years we'll get a foot and a half, and then it's a dusting about twice a year, maybe an inch or two if it's "real bad". Snow is rare enough here that once it gets more than an inch or so deep, the news services start referring to it as "Snow Storm 2001" and "Artic Wave 2000". The snow itself isn't all that bad, but what this area is famous for is it's winter time rain. It'll snow lightly a couple of days, then it'll rain, freeze that night, and we all wake up to thousands of square mires of ice rink. I always get a kick out of cruising down the highway after one of these freezes, topping out at around 15-20 mph, just cruisin', as someone in a 4x4 suburban goes hauling past, gives you a wave, and looks back at you like you're an idiot for being on the road, going slow in a 4x4. Inevitally, about a quarter of the time I'll see that same person later on trying to get off the median or off the snowbank on the shoulder.
Not all "southerners" go to the snowy states to drive like idiots. I lived in Iowa for a couple months, in December and Jan and I drove fine. Of course, I took my time and used a little common sense. Not to mention I had my infant son in the car with me. Even children do not make everyone drive sensibly tho. Come on down and drive during one of our great hurricanes! It can be a lotta fun! NOT. When you can't see the hood ornament on your truck for the intense rain, it is probably time to pull over. Or at least slow down a little, you know, to about 45! Maybe it's the old windshield wipers on my trucks but I can't drive like these maniacs when theres a river on my windshield. Maybe they are just running from the 'cane?
