No envy for you guys that have to deal with snow and ice. Most frightening thing I ever had to do behind the wheel was drive an unloaded 18 wheeler from Cincinatti through Eastern Tennessee during weather not that different from this year's. Sleet & black ice? Park it.
In graduate school I had a VW bus with recaps, and Raleigh got socked in with a major snowstorm. Then it snowed two more days... just unheard of. Folks in the south simply aren't prepared when that happens, so no street clearing equipment to help. For almost a week it seemed we were the only people in our neighborhood that could drive anywhere. Slowly, in a bus with no heat.
Never own more cars than you can keep charged batteries in...
