I was born and raised in the Midwest so I know about winter weather.
So was my wife. Drove everywhere during the winter back home. Then she moved here and wondered why our snow was so wet and slimy. Also couldn't figure out why we had so many hills. After all, the snow back home was nice and dry, gave great traction, and the biggest hill in the entire county was about 200' high .
Staying home is probably the best option but for some reason, at the first snowflake, everyone has to hit the road. Problem would be solved if our State would enact some "Emergency Snow Route" laws like on the East Coast. You get stuck on one of them and you get towed, period. Get stuck without the proper winter tires or chains and you get a major fine on top of the tow bill. Seems to make a few more people think before venturing out.
