Darchangel posted:It's amusing watching Northerners who think "eh, it's a few inches of snow - just go drive" realize that Texas rarely gets *just* snow. We get ice, or snow that melts and refreezes into ice, *then* snow on top of that. Plus, we never have snow tires, chains, etc., or experience driving on snow/ice, so, while they laugh, it's much safer to just stay home. Adding onto this, if it's snowing on a frequently-travelled road, the drafts from cars travelling at speed will keep a decent chunk of the snow from accumulating on the road. When people aren't used to snow, they'll (wisely) slow down, so more snow accumulates on the roads, gets driven over, and turns slippery. Also might have something to do with the ambient temperature/humidity level being higher in areas where it doesn't snow much, but I'm not a meteorologist.
