2 inches of snow and our country grinds to a halt

Talk of snow on the news and schools cancel for the day.

One of the worst thing in this is that people who aren't use to it will surely have a hard time driving, without winter tires that must be hell...

where I live we always gets a lot of snow during winter. I got winter tires and believe me in snowy days you must double your braking distance.

And be extremely cautious in elevations whether you go down or you go up.

I would even suggest that you avoid certain elevations at all cost since you can so easily loose control...

When I used to live out east by Washington DC, they were scared of snow too! They never really had the proper equipment to handle the job of cleaning the roads at that time. But mention snow in the weather forecast, and all the milk, bread and toilet paper would be sold out at the stores within hours,lol They were scared they would be stuck at home for days! Even if it only snowed 3 or 4 inches.
