it is an odd thing in an ice storm to see cars with car tags from Texas, or from any southern tier state, skating slowly down the road sideways, wheels turning uselessly, drivers searching for their lost steering.

It happens even in like, Canada, eh? where people *ought* to snow better.

I like seeing the invincible yuppies in their luxury SUV in the ditch, after thinking their 4-wheel drive made them A-OK to do 70 mph in the snow.

There a lot of people who are convinced that if you have a 4 wheel drive, the laws of physics do not apply to you. A lot of them end up upside down in the median of interstates.

Rich or poor, we all have 4 wheel brakes, right?
The playing field is slick, level, and smooth in that ice storm.
