There's a difference between driving in snow, which is annoying but relatively easy if you take it slow, and driving on ice, which is a regular circus act. I try to explain that the reason Georgians have such a hard time in winter storms is because of the 4-inch-thick layers of ice that form on the road. If all we ever got was snow, it wouldn't be such a big deal. And John, if it makes you feel any better, even the "authorities" up here did a lousy job with drainage on roads. Giant lakes form at just about every intersection, but it was even worse in New York. The best is when a thin layer of ice and snow forms over the lake. You step on it thinking it's solid and SPLASH! Wet up to your knees for the rest of the day! People up here always make fun of Southerners driving in winter weather, and I always have to set them straight.
