Having grown up in Ontario I'm used to snow and driving in it. But I have to admit, when it snows on the coast here...even just a little, the roads get BAD. In the East when its snows, its already cold too, nice cold ground, much freezy-freezy the snow blows around, we got some slippery spots but all in all not bad until the storms hit. lol
But here even a little snow makes for bad roads. The nice warm ground melts the underlying snow, the fresh stuff stays on top. As soon as you try to brake, your tires create an awesome ice/slush strip underneath them and you can slide forever...WWEEEEE. Well not if theres cars in front of you.
So as much as I laugh and joke that they shut the city down as soon as someone spots A snowflake....I must admit that driving here in this crap can be real tricky.
