The rain is definitely making it difficult for me to learn the roads though, since I have to pay more attention to my actual driving and everyone else around me instead of paying attention to where I am at and how I got there. haha
I'm a SoCal native and while I don't have much experience elsewhere, I have driven in snow, ice, and so on - a bit anyway.

I find it comical how bad we are when it gets mildly wet out. You can literally open up the CHP website when the rain starts and watch the accidents happen. I think people just keep jamming along at 75-80, on the cell phone, not paying attention, and suddenly they are spinning and hitting things.

SoCal has to have some of the worst distracted drivers around. I mean my wife and a friend of mine have both seen people on 101 PLAYING GUITAR WHILE DRIVING! WTF?

Seriously, I don't know. I thought my wife was nuts when she said it, but she knew what she saw. 6 months or a year later my friend saw it too.

I've seen people reading hardback books. . .
