Comment on He's on a mission
SupraMario@lemmy.world 13 hours agoThe issue with “snow” in the south isn’t the snow part. It’s the ice. Southern snows usually happen when it’s warm enough to melt the first bit of snow then it drops to freezing temps and the roads turn to sheets of ice. That and the majority in the south don’t have winter tires, they run all seasons because when it does snow, it lasts just a few days at most. Why risk lives when it’s just a few days.

Or it just stays in the conditions where it's more likely to sleet, which builds up and freezes into a sheet. Doesn't matter what tires you have, what 4-wheel drive, where you're from, or how much experience you have driving in snow... if there's a lot of ice on the road, you will hit some slick spots, and how sure of your being immune to physics will demonstrate itself.

Yep, southern ice is like trying to ice skate with one leg while blindfolded and deaf. You got 0 control.
