But still we get taken by surprise at least a couple of times a year and the roads can be almost impassible until they get caught up. It must be hellish where all those preparations just don't exist!
And then add that most people down here cannot drive in the dry or rain, and in the snow they should all just stay home, yet they go out and act like it is dry and wonder how they ended up in the median backwards and their car is totally stuck. And they act like 4 wheel drive is the be all end all and forget that it does not help you stop.
