    Yes, that storm was definitely "one for the books". In my neighborhood (Lake Como), visibility was down to four hundred yards. I was glad to be observing the storm from my house.

      That would be too smart for us :) Just kidding, yes, many have snow tires and / or all-wheel drive, but they are expensive, and the snow plowing / salting is so good here that people are spoiled and assume they can drive all the time, any time, at the usual speed. And this is certainly the case after the snow plows get out - but _not_ in the middle of the snow storm.

    "In a few years, children just aren't going to know what snow is. Snowfall will just be a very rare & exciting event"...Dr. David Viner, Sr. research scientist at the Climatic Research Unit of the University of East Anglia. March 20, 2000. The Independant, a climate science newspaper ,repeated the claim in the year 2000. OOOPS!

      i don't think snow was the problem for most people based on that plow truck pulling the van. there must have been a nice smooth layer of ice under that snow cuz that plow truck was struggling in a little bit of snow even when he wasn't tugging on the van, and then the van was sliding all over the place. i love my pickup and the lady has some nice blizzaks on hers car but neither are a match for ice haha.
