    It rains here every year.

    I swear it does! You wouldn't know that from the way people are driving right now though. You wouldn't think it had ever been wet on the roads before.

    I'm scared to go out, everyone's liek "ZOMFG, teh road is WET, WHADDO I DO?!!??!". I've seen so many people sitting there spinning their tires looking like idiots, or spinning their vehicles out, in the last week, and the rain hasn't really started yet.

    DBF and I are supposed to drive up to Davis (2 hours) today to go to Murder Burger (YUM) and I'm nervous, 'cos the road is wet for the first time EVAR!! -_-

    Is it really that hard to slow down a bit when the road is wet?

    Thank you Wolf_Q!

    It is exactly the same here!

    The air is so dry and dusty here, even when we get a tiny sprinkle if rain, the roads are so slippery, but people just carry on as usual. Once we were driving to work in light rain, and on one main road we saw FIVE smash ups.

    It cracks me up as that's exactly how people here act every time it snows!! And it snows here MULTIPLE times a year in winter! In fact, over the last ten - twenty years its been snowing LESS!! So.. arggh1!! People are stupid sometimes in teh way that they drive. If you're afraid to drive in those conditions, don't, or get a ride! Or walk! lol

    Snow on the road is my annual dose of humor, AKA stupid human tricks. 4WD is great, but having 4WD doesn't mean you are immune to the laws of physics. You still have to stop or turn at some point, and 4WD doesn't mean you stop quicker.

    Oh I love people who think that!! Just because you have 4WD doesn't mean your vehicle handles ice any differently than cars without it. You all slide the same.

    Is it still fairly warm in the US? it's freezing over here the frost is so thick that it's practically snow and i have been wearing stuff that i wore in Lapland! It always seems to be freezing and/or raining torrentially where i live! My cat Zsa-Zsa (see her here!!! [COLOR=Black] hates the cold and refuses to leave the comfort of her basket for anything but a cuddle, we even have to hand feed her whilst she's in it!!! Still, hoping for a white christmas!
