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.

You and me both....And they almost all exclusively drive Teslas, and go about 10 MPH when driving around the neighborhood.

I was born and raised in Pennsylvania and actually passed my driver's license test with about a foot of snow on the ground.

My first duty station was Ft. Riley, KS where, due to it being an active army base, I got to see the driving habits of folks from all over the country, readily identified by their license plates.

My general observation was that if you saw a vehicle in a ditch or a snowbank, it was actually more likely to have a northern plate, whereas cars with southern plates tended to be driven across post at 5 mph or less. My conclusion was that a lot of yankees (myself included) tended to be overconfident with the, "I grew up in this," attitude, and perhaps even felt the need to display their prowess, while southerners tended to white knuckle the steering wheel and felt they could not be too cautious.
