It doesn't snow much here in central Arkansas. What we get is the
occasional ice storm. About once per winter season, sometimes twice.
The roads are lots worse to drive on than snow but that doesn't seem to
slow down the macho boys and ditzbars in Urban Assault Vehicles. These
aren't just "good 'ol boys" either. Lotsa yuppie types with a seemingly
arrogant "Me First" attitude. Tickles the **** outa me to see 'em spin
into the ditches where 4WD isn't much good. Man, that so-called Black
Ice is treacherous...it can look just like dry asphalt. Anyway, I let
the rush thin out then the 'ol Sprite and I always seem to get to
wherever we need to be.

Gotta disagree with you there a bit, Cap'n. "sitting high" tends to
raise your center of gravity which is definitely NOT in one's favor in
snowy conditions on Route 95. Of course, once you have slid OFF of Route
95, the greater ground clearance IS a benefit...
