Re: Bountiful Snow .... Utah drivers...
Ha, saw that on the news.
I think that people are idiots when it comes to driving in snow EVERYWHERE. i never saw so many cars in ditches than in Erie - they get a TON of snow - every year! Around here aint much better.

You guys not have studded tires up there?
The is the silliest **** I have ever seen. I can relate though. Last December when it was above freezing during the day and snowing so there was fluff on top of water on top of ice it was a lot like this. For some reason I've never seen cluster **** like this here, though. ed: Lol up there. I mean down there. Where the hell do I think I am.

Re: Bountiful Snow .... Utah drivers...
Sure that's not Atlanta?
In such conditions and in such traveling company, I'd creep to a side street, lock 'er up, and walk. I've done it before. dcb |

I've seen drivers in Seattle cope with the rare snow storm (by stopping in the middle of the freeway to put on their chains ) I've watched Virginia drivers drive at 60mph on ice storm coated freeways. I'm an advocate for harder licensing tests and more practical road tests. On snowy days I try to stay off the roads and if that's not an option I'm the one that all the idiots in the big 4x4 trucks are passing. It seems that physics should be taught to drivers ... a big SUV takes longer to stop on ice than a small sub compact. 4 big tires might get you going...but they just add mass to the momentum on ice. on the other hand .... idiots that don't cope with winter driving well.... might not contribute to the gene pool.... that might help.

I spent three winters in New England, am fairly confident in my driving abilities in wintry weather (so long as I'm in a Suby and it ain't on ice), and am very mindful of my limitations. My biggest concern is always the other guy. In any weather. dcb |

Re: Bountiful Snow .... Utah drivers...
Is that hill a lot steeper than it looks? Look like 1/4 " of snow . We call that flurries up herein N.E. I Stay home when the snow gets above a foot, so I can drive 30 miles to go skiing <LOL>
