You said it! When we moved to PA we got the same insulting comments about Southerners not being able to drive on snow...... last winter we had a freak snowstorm during the day that stranded hundreds of cars along the highway..... it took my neighbor over 7 hours to get home (less than 30 miles) ........ seems those snow plows and salt sure do help with driving skills.......lol

Isn't that the truth! When I moved to PA ten years ago from San Diego, I got laughed at about driving in the snow. Guess what? I never even had a fender-bender because I knew when to slow down! People in the east are the worst drivers in the world, IMO.

I'm a Texas girl who was in PA a few years ago. What I found out was that since we Southern folk don't usually have snow plows to bail us out, we are actually better snow drivers. We Texans even know how to drive on ice! Bottom line is that I think we have a healthy respect for the stuff. (I include Oklahoman's in the same category as Texans)

Even if you have snow, there'd be an assumption that you couldn't handle it because you're basicly a flatlander. (I know it's not necessarily true, but that would be the assumption.)
