Being native Texan, we typically only see ice/snow maybe once or twice per year and then only for a day or two. And there are always lots of wrecks when it happens. A number of years ago I was on a business trip to Michigan when an early winter storm hit. The news was loaded with coverage about all the wrecks all across the northern states and, unfortunately, several deaths. I said to one of the guys I was working with "I thought you northerners knew how to drive in this stuff". He said "No. We just tell you southerners that. Every year when we have our first few winter storms, we have forgotten everything we knew about driving in it and we have all these wrecks also."
