Nice reply, and dead on the mark too.
several years back Dallas got a mere 1" of ice from an ice storm, and it 
literally shut the city down.
 now being a Texan myself, from even further south than Dallas I can see 
where they're not used to/prepared for such a thing, however I do tend to 
laugh at them over it because snow and Ice have never affected MY driving in 
such a way.

 But first and foremost politics don't have anything to do with it (as you 
stated) it's the situation + the local.. nothing more...


hmm I think I said the right.
