If I had a dollar for every stupid New Englander who thinks that he/she can drive like a maniac because "I have an SUV"/"I've been driving in snow my whole life"/"It's not that bad out"... I'd be a very rich woman. Yes, but aren’t you glad that you at least have the sense to be cautious and know your limits?

Living on the east-side of Washington State for most of my life provided nothing like it did ample practice time driving in snow. But I moved somewhere it doesn't snow, hardly ever, which also happens to be one of my favorite attributes about Portland.

I am agnostic and only pray when driving in the snow. Or when I lose my keys. You speak the truth. I am agnostic and only pray when driving in the snow. Or when I lose my keys.

I have spent a total of less than 10 days of my life in the snow, and that was too many for me. I can understand, since I hyperventilate at the THOUGHT of snow.

Hate it, hate it, HATE IT. And yet? I live in a place that gets it for six months. Maybe one day I'll do something about that. Maybe sharing some vodka recipes will cheer you up. Especially if you sample your work :) Oh, I hate the snow. Hate it, hate it, HATE IT.

The weatherfolks have been offering us snow and ice on a platter for two weeks, and all it is doing is making my grandmother and my mom similarly paranoid so that my family ends up trapped wherever we are for an indefinite period of "survival time" while they untie their knickers. 't'd be nice if there were even the slightest reason for those knickers to be in a knot in the fiorst place is all I'm sayin'. If only we had snow here right now.

I am so petrified to drive in the snow (or rain or anything else besides sunshine!) because I always manage to slide no matter how slowly or carefully I'm driving. I love the first picture by the way. Oh my gosh, I am the same way.

I'll trade you sunshine and desert landscape for a few days if I can have some of that snow. That must have been one nasty librarian.
