I live in the wrong place because of rodents
Any further answer would be considered political
But the rodents don't make the weather or are able to predict it.I live in the wrong place because of rodents

In Raleigh right now it is 58 degrees with light rain. We have no snow left unless it is deep in a wooded area. For the sake of accuracy we didn't have all that much to begin with.

Yeah Dd was disappointed. She wanted lots of snow.
She only had about and inch covered in ice.

Gettin’ colder and more on the way, so we have an ice day. The partners can’t safely get out of there neighborhoods.
Carolyn’s company and Matthew’s work told everyone to stay home yesterday.
Carolyn’s company is on a hill above Lake Austin, so there’s no way anyone could even make it up there in your average vehicle.
26 degrees here right now and supposed to get down to 19 tonight, with a wind chill of about 6 degrees, and some negative wind chills out in the Hill Country.

X2 but ice is far more dangerous than snow

Any car that doesn't have all season tires and still drives with summer tires is asking for trouble. Cold temps with summer tires is a huge safety issue. Snow tires help stop the car better in very cold temps and help with ice to a point but the most important is slow down and keep your distance . The chance of southern state drivers switching to snow tires is slim.Yep, and crashes are increasing out there as it gets colder and more icing occurs…

In addition to what Lilofan stated, naturally 4 wheel drive vehicles handle better than FWD vehicles.

Not on ice. NEVER use 4x4 on ice.
Safety has come along way in the Northeast. When I visited NJ suburbs one winter, I think 3 out of every 4 cars on the road were AWD, with many SUVs. When I spent time there as a kid, the vehicles were RWD, FWD, and snow tires, and chains were the norm. Didn't have the opportunity of many AWD selections back in the day and I think drivers were more careful on the roads because of what they were driving. When the weather turns bad when in the area recently I just see that the some of the AWD drivers drive like there was no inclement weather , and the FWD and even some RWD Mustangs, Camaros drive in a slower manner.

Nope. People forget how to drive every. single. winter. I can't tell you how many SUVs and 4x4s I've passed in the ditch because they thought their vehicle could do things it can't.
