I know exactly how you feel Rob! Here in Virginia, and the greater Washington DC area in general, at the first sign of snow people seem to completely forget how to drive. Even if the snow is not heavy we are likely to have hours of traffic delays due to accidents that certainly could have been avoided.

Nikki... I lived in Falls Church, VA for 40 years and you are sooo right. I love the snow and ice myself, pulling 360's in my Camaro back in H.S., but as you say most peeps just freak out. And the shopping, lol... just let the weather report say snow or ice and everyone lines up at the grocery store - shelves are empty in a day. Living in Newport News now and we don't get too much snow, but its been very here cold lately. Our electricity bill doubled last month. More winter to go -- bundle up!
Raven... sounds like things are about the same across the pond ;)
