Fuck it, I have no idea Damo. Cityfolk do tend to be timid drivers during inclement weather, though...

you're a pretty patient guy, for all the shit you have had to occasionally put up with on this board, you're level headed. so why does this test your patience? is it because you abhor whiny or wimpy excuses more than other things?
I think that it is because I know that it is a lie. I dislike dishonesty.

Is it that or is it because they don't know what they are doing, get in your way and it make you want to squash them like a bug?
I do hate when I have to redo their work, but that doesn't mean I want to do it all.

I feel your pain. One of my ski leagues canceled races twice this season because (you guessed it) there was too much snow. Needless to say, I won't be funding them with dues next year.

Not at Tahoe. I'll be there on Sunday.

i used to live in the NW, i liked the cold, it was a refreshing feeling, brisk, clean, challenging. now, a wee bit older, this warm weather, yeah....i can deal with that
Valid point. However, my experience from living in the boondocks is that farmers have dirt roads that don't slick up with ice like asphalt does...and farmers have big ass high clearance trucks or four wheel drive.
that said, californians, including myself, totally suck at driving in the snow. The least little bit of precipitation makes us drive like idiots. I turned down a transfer to Lake Tahoe just because I knew I'd be an doofus driver in the snow. Bummer, I do like snow boarding

Its 48 in Olympia, with some drizzle. I love the NW weather, because I hate extreme temperatures in either direction, and I have been spoiled silly by our temperate weather.
They turn to snot when they get wet, they are actually quite a bit more difficult to drive in weather. There is a reason farmers have pickups, however cities plow their roads and every car has front wheel drive. Their driveway isn't two city blocks like mine either....
And you'll learn to drive in the snow, you'll only be a doofus if you keep your silly rear-wheel drive vehicle and drive too fast.

I'm used to driving liberal socialist cars like Volkswagon buses and volvos, so I think I'm genetically and mechanically incapable of not being a doofus driver in snow.
Yo man, you colorado farmers need to learn about dirt road construction. My piece of crap volkswagon bus never had a problem on those dirt farm roads. Those roads never turned to mush. Throw some gravel on them, man!

Actually, a lot of rural areas are going back to gravel roads. They are easier and cheaper to maintain, and in many ways safer. Especially in bad weather.
