> > Sorry, I know to most of you, snow is not that uncommon, but here in South Carolina, it is rare. Anyway, we had a nice 6" snowfall Wed/Thur. You REALLY can tell when people have "issues" when you see them down here in the snow. I grew up in DC, so snow was no big deal, but boy howdy, do folk act weird in the South when it snows! Makes me feel more normal to see others in panic for a change (just kidding).

Nobody seems to "get it" everytime the snow starts in the winter. Short memories, distracted?? I notice their driving improves somewhat after the 1st big snow...
