(Reply is intended ti be read with tongue firmly planted in cheek!)

And judging by the evening news, the first time a lot of adults have 
tried to drive in it!
I love it!  An inch of snow and ice down south and it looks like the 
bumper cars at Six Flags!
I see all you southern dudes on TV when it snows- FULL lock on the 
brakes turning your highways into the nations biggest bobsled run.
Rule one of snow driving,
Never jam the brakes to the floor.
And, anti lock brakes are just about worthless under these conditions.
Rule number two. SUV owners will always prove that Darwin was right!
I love the New Englanders who think that a 4WD SUV is  ticket to winter 
immortality.
Yeah, you'll get going better, but you're not going to stop any faster!
  I'll bet dollars to donuts (that's Dunkin' Donuts up here!) that 95% of 
the winter roll overs I've seen are
idiots in Cherokes's, Range Rover's, Explorer's. etc.
But, this is selective breeding at it's best- physics and nature will 
weed out the truly stupid drivers!
