Variation of the same joke: Predicting 3-5 inches of snow. Or as guys measure it, 8 inches.

It amazes me when the "white death" starts being predicted how everyone just freaks out. I used to even wonder it when I lived there, but now that I live out west, and we see snow daily, it's just something you deal with.

I do believe, however, that a lot of the drivers here in Salt Lake City are no better at driving in the snow that Mississippians are. There are CONSTANTLY wrecks due to people running into each other because they couldn't stop in time.

Yeah all my friends up north make fun of the driving of people in the south in snow but if you look at google maps live with traffic for cities up north when it's snowing it's exactly the same. Wrecks everywhere.

EVERYWHERE. I have to travel down the busiest interstate every morning and afternoon, and after a big snow and ice, I get so nervous from all the others around me. These Utes' have a difficult time traveling in what they should be accustomed to.

Friend of mine, who is an Auburn grad that live here in SLC got rear ended on I-15, and the lady was going about 50...ran into stopped traffic.

Down south, good chance there's ice under the snow.

I can drive in snow and ice as well as anyone. If I have the option, I'll pass on dealing with the insurance guy and the body shop.

Couple years ago in Dallas it sleeted for a few hours then snowed for a few hours. I could handle the business priorities from home but decided to head to the office mid-morning. I go through one signal light and just as I pass a car slides behind me on the cross street.

Next signal, I have the green and a car slides across in front of me. This is in the first mile from home. I turned around and went back home.

Yall in N. Mississipi need to get a car hood from the junkyard. The absolute best sled behind a truck. RednecksHaveMoreFunku
