[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 675881, member: 11791"] Except, where I live... where there is snow, there is ice. As in, at every single intersection. Caused by friction as vehicles come to a stop. If it's cold enough (and it often is), sand just slides right off, and salt doesn't work either. Even on a grid road (country gravel thoroughfare), there can be ice at intersections. If enough of us drive on that ice, the intersection eventually becomes worn back down to pavement. So yes, we drive on ice. Just not when it's the only thing to drive on. Snow is preferred to ice, and "cleared roads" (not just plowed, but where the ice has been dealt with as well) are what most of us have as our first pick. But it can take 3 days for the plowing to get caught up, and life doesn't stop just because it snows. Most of us can't afford four wheel drive, although it is nice to have. It's expensive to maintain, unless you have your own private mechanic in the family. [/QUOTE]
