I'm convinced that if you haven't lived in snow (sloppy weather)
country, you probably don't know how to drive in it.

Reduced speed, increased assured clear distance, and 2nd gear seem to
be concepts from a different world, not prudent driving techniques in
bad weather.

BTW, the heavy rains are sure to bring the mud slides in the burn
areas of last months fires.
