I gotta side with Karl on this one; I just enjoyed driving up to the mountains in a winter "storm", breezed right through the mandatory tire chains checkpoint (if you have 4WD and the right tires, you're allowed to get by just carrying chains), and spent a couple days watching the tow trucks work overtime. Growing up in the South prepared me a little for winter driving, but the real education came while in Denver, Boulder, and Philadelphia (Blizzard of 1993!). Tad, there are people that live in those climates that don't know how to handle *anything*, so it doesn't surprise me when I see all the wreckers and winches.

There may be something wrong with me - I actually enjoy difficult driving conditions.
