professor,

As someone who drove over 100 miles roundtrip to work and back for over 35 years, I can assure you that the overwhelming majority of motorists on the road in a snow and ice weather event haven;t a clue how to drive. They don't know there is a difference between being on an interstate or a four lane road or avenue. I have pretty much seen it all and now I just relax and laugh at them.

I would love to see how the Big D and FORT W folks drive with ice first and 5 or more inches of snow on top.

I cannot imagine they are any worse than most here in southern ohio.

THAT said, PRACTICE makes for better learning and then execution on roads. Where De lives they get a lot of practice. A WHOLE lot more than Big D area multiplied by years and years.

I have family in Big D. I've been there. Nice area.

But the truth is the majority of people everywhere are just poor drivers to begin with and worse during snow and ice events.

DE >>> because they are particularly dangerous but because drivers who don't know how to cope with snow usually are.

Another false canard. Drivers down here don't have any more problem with snow than drivers in yankee land.

It is ice that causes the problems. And the drivers up north are MUCH more dangerous on that than Southerners because they get ignorant thinking "Oh, no big deal - we northerners KNOW how to drive on snow.'

You gotta know you limitations, son.
