Snow on the Oregon Coast

I hate snow. I moved here to get away from it. There are idiots, I mean people, here that don't know how to drive in it. When I was driving yesterday to merchandise in Tillamook, which is a 42 mile drive that includes a mountain pass and curvy roads, there were people that would drive 55 MPH or faster around those winding curves. They think nothing will happen to them if they are driving a four-wheel-drive. I drive a crossover SUV which has real time 4WD and I drive slower on icy roads. You can call me a pussy if you want but I want to live. Luckily I'm off today and I don't have to do that route again until Saturday and Sunday.
'nuff said.

It's probably those people who honk at me for going too slowly!

I can't get over how (some) people with SUV's think they are accident proof. 9 times out of 10, it will be an SUV rolled over in the median of 1-94 in snowy weather. You're not superman if you're in an SUV, right??

I live in Michigan.. most of us all know how to drive on snow, but always an idiot in the crowd.

Short story: I lived in Florida like 3 years. I went to all the chats, and we were talking about snow. Someone mentioned "Does anyone remember the last time it snowed in Florida"? 3 people in the room responded with the exact date.. was funny.. they said the schools were closed.. cars crashing.. they have nothing there to even clear the roads.

To me, basically it's cause they have no "snow" experience. Kinda like her first BJ.. felt good to ya, but something wasn't exactly right. Floridians can't drive in snow.. they are too used to a "plushy" life. Michiganders done this crap forever.. we can deal. That's why the NORTH kicked the hell outta the SOUTH in that civil war thing...

It happens every year around here. The first snowfall brings out the idiot drivers. Too bad innocent lives are lost because of these numbnuts.
