Seriously Seattle drivers are the worst at navigating with even the tiniest bit of snow!

Remember that YouTube video of the Jeep GC driver comically failing in the snow? That was here. Every suburban housewife in an AWD Lexus will be out in force for a game of automotive pinball.

Kinja'd!!!

One of the few times I can say I’m happy to live in Alabama.

The hills/mountains are also terrible. That cannot help.

That’s what happens when we get rain in Denver.

Oh we can’t drive in the rain either and it’s ALWAYS raining here. I got healthy appreciation of snow drivers when I lived in SLC for 8 years. They just don't care.

I trust local news over a national service.

I was in Olympia visiting my father in March 2012, when it snowed about an inch, and there was some freezing rain as well. The conditions weren’t that bad, but it didn’t stop one of his neighbors sliding his SAAB 9-5 down the street and into a mailbox.

My father now lives on Bainbridge, which is a lot like Olympia, expect everybody is super rich. And nobody does meth. But everybody is still insanely scared of snow.

See, I live in North Carolina. We’ll cancel school and shut down banks and government offices even if there is a minor threat of snow. But people out here have nothing on the people of Seattle when it comes to being scared of snow.

But that doesn’t deter me, I still love the Seattle area.

I love Bainbridge. Such a pretty area. Here it gets less about snow and more about ice. Plus the city only has like 4 plows covering 6 counties.

What is this video of the GC driver?

Where I live, snow and rain does the exact same thing to drivers, which is bad because you’re pretty much guaranteed snow for a quarter of the year if we’re lucky. A third of the year is more typical.

True. I hope it snows tomorrow anyway.

I do too. Watch out for Metro bus drivers. They're the worst!

I’m sort of hoping EdCC will have a snow day, that way I can stay out of the vehicular maelstrom that follows.

Yes! My favorite time if year! Ditches and shoulders will be filled with lifted F150s, Tahoes, and Exploders, whilst my little pickup with drive a safe easy pace through less than 3/4 of an inch of slush.l at most.

Most schools are the first to shut down. They build in days at the back end of the year for just such an occasion.

SLC drivers are nuts. Speed limit was 75 on the interstate, but everyone goes well over that and crosses over no pass carpool lanes and so on. But at least they all knew how to drive in snow...

I blew past an F250 spinning his wheels two years ago in Kirkland in the Audi like it was nothing. All these trucks on the road and they omit putting sand bags in their beds. Shit the Corolla will hang with the best of em.

It's all the Mormons rushing to their kids off on a mission so they can back to popping anti-depressants like candy.

I used to just throw old boxes of industrial glue in the back of my bed. If I have any trouble this year I’ll just throw back in my incredibly heavy canopy and some of those huge tree cuts laying in my backyard.

Those Mormons sure drive nice cars though... you get down near Park City and it seems like half the people own a Porsche.

Chicago isn’t much better. This weather happens every year, it’s almost like a cycle. Huh.. You think people would be used to it.

The problem is that nobody knows when it’s best to stay home. we get hit with 8” of snow and suddenly everyone needs to be at Wallyworld for Pork Chops and Applesauce!

You should see us when it rains. Pandemonium! It's always running here and people just plan forget.
