Oh man, I can tell with the highest degree of certainty that when it comes to not having a clue on driving in snow and ice we here in Texas are head and shoulders above the rest of the world in being major screw ups.
We have trouble just on wet roads let alone throwing in temperatures below freezing. Long periods when we have no rain allows oil buildup on the roads and when the rain hits and floats the oil up to the surface, look out.

I was talking to a friend a few years ago about the way we Southerners react to snow warnings. He's a real comic and a lover of Southern lore and he swears that he saw an older car with a lot of miles on it and parked in a parking lot spontaneously flip over on its back the moment the snow warning came over the radio!
Somehow, the story just seems right.
I hate that feeling when the wheels lose touch with the pavement and you start hydroplaning . Yep, oil will do it!
If we go a week or ten days without rain, the next time it does rain is like a major payday for wrecker drivers and body shops.
