I have lived in Texas since I was 4. I don't know how anybody north of Texas can deal with this type of weather for months, not days. The summers here are brutal no doubt. But I can drive my car at least 360 days out of the year.....my air conditioner always works......in everything. Car, truck, work, home....its not optional here.....
I made it to work every day this week but today. My office chose to close today (which might be the first time that has EVER happened). Once the snow covered up the ice, most Texans said Phuc it
A co-worker and I went to Lacrosse Wisconsin in Febuary one year a while back for my job at the time. When I left DFW airport, it was 70 degrees, I was carrying my "coat" in my hand. I landed in Chicago, and our flight to Lacrosse was cancelled. We rented a car, and drove the rest of the way in a blizzard. I found out two things very quickly:
1. I did not own anything that could deal with those kinds of temperatures.
2. I was a *****.

Screw cold weather, it is not fun, and more so for us folks in the southern parts of the US, we are just not used to it, not prepared for it, hell, even our houses are not built with those kind of temps in mind.
We did it all the time in MN.

I am with Greg! You can drive on ice but just beware of things like corners and sudden stops as you slide and slide and slide then BANG!
Had my 4x4 Grand Cherokee out in the ice and snow storm we had here. Schools were closed for a week. Had fun in the Jeep. First time in 4 wheel drive. Now I am glad I bought it. Had a blast driving around town! I missed that from growing up in the Boston area. I have to say though the cold weather sucks and I can only imagine what NY has been like!

I made it out earlier in the wife's Excursion. McKinney is pretty deserted.

When I first got my liscense, when it snowed I would take my car to a big parking lot and do rinky-dinks. Learned how to control the rear of the car in a slide. Now those were the day's!
