We don't get much snow here in western Washington, but when we
do it's best to stay home. I usually end up behind someone who
thinks the best way to drive in the snow is to never exceed
5 miles per hour, up or down hill; and in front of someone who
thinks the best way to drive in the snow is just like you'd
drive on dry pavement.
And the next morning, fully 2/3 of all the vehicles you see
in the ditches are 4WD. Nobody seems to realize that 4WD
doesn't repeal the laws of Newtonian physics.
