well now hold on...i have seen it snow here in houston more than once in the past 30 years. maybe twice. one time the nasty stuff lasted till almost lunchtime. naturally, they closed the schools etc. one time i had a fun afternoon downtown drinking beer and watching all the people trying to come down a really steep and curving exit ramp from the freeway after a little snow. wheeeeee!! thud. wheeeeeeeeeee! thud. (the ones at the top couldn't see the ones at the bottom.)

i actually grew up and learned to drive in chicago. hyde park. there is certainly an art to driving a rear-wheel-drive car in the snow but it can be done. just takes more "driving" .

sure is fun learning to turn corners with the throttle only.
