It’s not that bad. I swear California nights at 40 and humid are worse than 0 and dry.
Snow is easy to drive in if you learn properly and afford yourself extra drive time. Honestly, that old comment from some southern news broadcast is pretty accurate: “If you rarely drive on snow, just pretend you’re taking your grandma to church. There’s a platter of biscuits and sweet tea in glass jars on the back seat. She’s wearing a new dress and holding a crock pot full of gravy.” Just go slow and steady and everything is fine. It’s the folks that think they can still do 60 in their Jeep with 6” of snow and corner like they’re an F1 car on the road that are the problem.
Also, come on up, we’d love to have you! Just be sure you read or watch “How to talk Minnesotan” first. It’s on the test.
Adding to this…
Traction control does not make you invincible. The computer is going to step in and selectively brake wheels to try to keep you in control of the car. You can absolutely get the car in a situation that the TC can not mitigate. When that system goes off, it should be a glaring alert to you, that you overdrove the car and conditions, and you need to re-evalute how you are driving immediately!
From the south…it’s more like the people in a Z71 with near bald knotted tired from driving only on pavement who have to swerve around you because you’re only going 6 over the speed limit.
