They clearly haven’t been on a snowy/icy busy highway with Texans who believe their humongous trucks are impervious to slick roads as they barrel past you at more than the official speed. LOL!

North Texas drivers are terrible to start with. Snow makes them 3 times worse, and don’t get me going on Indian drivers.

I lived in Spokane and Germany for 4 years each, have plenty of experience in driving in wintry conditions. It’s the other yayhoos that make it miserable.

So we’ll have 2-4 inches of snow over the next few days, and DFW will be shut down…I’m fine with that.

If you can get in trouble with a 2 wheel drive, you can really screw up with a 4WD. Normally it helps. But I saw a guy in a 4WD during a snowstorm royally screw the pooch. He went from the left lane, fishtailed across the grass median, into opposing traffic, barely missing a semi and into the ditch on the far side. I was going 40-ish and he blew past me at 65 just before he lost it.
