The people here drive like idioys. Period. It rains here 2/3 of the time and they don't know the first thing about driving on wet roads (first thing, studded tires are BAD as they REDUCE traction on wet roads - but I see so many driving around in the rain (no snow or ice) with their studded tires they throw on the day they are legal and keep on until they get a ticket or something ripping apart the roads for no good reason).. they drive no slower if it is raining due to visibility or wet roads... they could not care less. They seem to get a kick out of roaring through large puddles near pedestrians in the hopes of drenching them (as if the peds aren't wet enough having to walk in the rain). Makes one wish for something severe to happen to these yahoos (that only injures them, not anyone else or anyone else's property)... there are so many drivers who should get their licenses pulled permanently and locked up for a long time should they ever get on the road again driving a motor vehicle. Ah well...

I grew up in Michigan and through my first winter season here, I was also amused at the panic mode that goes into overdrive here over a little inclement weather. At the same time, you have to account for the fact that they don't have the winter weather systems in place here that they do in areas that expect major winter weather like N.E. and Michigan. I know in MI, the plow and salt trucks hit the major roads as soon as much accumulation started. I don't see that here... and better safe than sorry. I presume (no info here yet... got a small blurb off SJ earlier this morning), that the 10 car pile-up that closed the overpass on Portland Rd this morning was very likely ice related.

Maybe it was just where I grew up in New England but we never saw schools close for weather unless there was about 2-3 feet of newfallen snow and the plows could not keep up with it. I walked to school when there was sufficient ice to make trees explode (literally - they could not take the stress and went with a loud crack/boom). I've noticed in Salem if a snowflake is seen everyone panics. I learned to drive in New England in February and suggest all do so if they can... then you learn from the start how to deal with ice and snow behind the wheel, not fear it. Ah well...
