Do you Georgians not like snow? I live in Ohio and love it. There were two snow storm here the last two days. I do have a 4x4 Jeep, so getting around doesn't bother me.
I love snow, but I grew up with it in central North Carolina. Snow in most parts of Georgia is a rare thing and no one here knows how to deal with it since it snows and the roads ice over so rarely.
Braking on a patch of ice? Yeah that sounds like a good idea.
