The main reason not to drive in the snow is the way other people drive in the snow.

    True. More than once I’ve had to bail from a plowed (but still somewhat slick) freeway and take the unplowed backroads somewhere. Yeah, the backroads are slicker for me, but I’m the only one there, and I can trust my own winter driving skills - I know the limits of my traction and I know how to stay within them. Out on the freeway? Once I pass the second or third or fourth car stuck in the median I start to get a little nervous that the next one will take me with it embedded in my trunk and then I’m anxiously looking for the next exit.
