we have very few snow days here, maybe one or two a year, so snow isn't really an issue. Like you, we leave an hour or so later to avoid the morning rush and the SUVs in ditches. The worst is when the storm hits 'during' rush hour. Ugh. By far the worst down here however is black ice. We frequently get a freezing rain that only coats trees and power lines (not a good combination) and overpasses and bridges. No traction system or tire combination can help you there. The only thing to do is 'crawl' thru the ice and hope you don't have to brake or steer. All that said, the worst danger are the idiots down here that either have absolutely no clue how to drive in snow, or the idiots with 4WD who think they are invincible and haul booty thru the snow/slush.
