I took these pictures on I59 near my house yesterday. These are OTR truck drivers that drive all over the country in all kinds of winter weather and they still ended up in the ditch. It wasn't 2" of snow, it was 2" of mix that turned to a solid sheet of ice overnight. None of you snickering Yankees would have done any better on it. I've lived all over the country & driven in all kinds of winter weather, these roads were the worst I've ever seen. 2' of fluffy snow in Minnesota isn't the same. I'd love to have seen some of those running their mouths about "southern drivers" come & show us how it's done. They'd be the first in the ditch.
these are the same OTR truckers who wind up in the creek just west of town here because its the first time they descended down a couple of thousand feet in elevation in a few short mile, then people claim there are not enough warning signs. If your driving through the mountains and look a head you will notice prairie way below you and not that far in front of you , most people in Motor homes and trucks slow down, stop at the brake check with flashing light and give the brakes time to cool off. Not southerners, they are always the ones in the creek .
