I've found that, at least down a bit farther south, most of the time the snow covers a layer of ice (either it starts as an ice storm, or snow is compacted by driving on it before it's cleared). While one can generally drive slowly though snow and get there, ice is another matter. That doesn't stop "Yankees" from driving normal speeds with their SUV's though. When they end up in a ditch, they curse the lack of snow removal equipment, then kindly take help from a gentleman with a large truck, some chains, and a sweet tea accent.
