Consider, we have very little snow removal equipment (although VA is much better over the past 20 years), basic salt/sand trucks and no experience driving in it. Do you really want your children on a bus with a driver who driver in snow/ice maybe once or twice a year? The same going to work. A days vacation is worth it to me rather than have someone slide into my car, the aggravation isn't worth it. Most know very little how to get around in the snow. My time in Philly got me some experience, but I'm no expert.

I'm with you. Six years in Washington State, 2.5 years in New Jersey and 3 years in New York City taught me a lot about snow and driving in it. My rule for driving in the snow down here - DON'T. People down here get stupid when it's raining hard (they drive 75 mph, in a hard rain - one inch in an hour - without their headlights on). The figure those all weather tires they bought 50,000 miles ago will stop them if it's snowing.
