Very well summarized, Micro.

During snow and ice events in DFW the traffic drops off dramatically. Probably most of the traffic is from immigrant yankees during these. You know 'the elite' that think their drivin' don't stink. *s*

Got one of my first 'practice' sessions at 17 in a large (and empty) parking lot during an ice storm in Big Spring (West Texas). Doing donuts, intentional skids and recovery, etc. . Had a couple of friends in the back seat of my 66 Malibu (300hp 327). Earned myslef a flashing blue and red, and a po'd officer. He chewed me out, and warned my 'passengers' they should get out and not ride with me. I laughed later. The cop was mainly ticked cuz he couldn't write me any tickets. Private propery and no jurisdiction.

I learned a lot of valuable 'real life' driving skills during that little session.
