The UN voted the Sun doesn't affect climate.
Thus meteorologist must work within the internationally recognized climate change paradigm if said meteorologist is to maintain licensing.

We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will yet swell the chorus when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.

Ummm - I guess you guys don't realize what ACTUALLY happened?
The ground was frozen. And, the air temp was slightly below freezing. But, it was just warm enough for liquid water to fall from the sky (we call it "rain"). However, as soon as the rain hit the ground, it froze. Therefore, there was a layer of ice on the road surface.
It's not the snow or sleet that caused problems. It was ice. And, being that this specific set of conditions happens down here only every, say, 20 years, we don't exactly keep a lot of salt on hand for it.
But, now I'm curious - how would all of you "experienced Northerners" handle an ice-covered road, with no salt on it? Only way I know of is studded tires.

You handle it by driving slower, keeping your distance from other drivers, accelerating smoothly and slowly... And by cursing God and all his angels for making a rural Ontario farm boy have to put up with a southerner acting like a bit of ice is some sort of driving apocalypse.
