If you've lived in Michigan for a long time....
You should be able to drive in the snow. It's like everyone driving today was like OH EM GEE! It's snowing, I should be a terrible driver now.
It just cracks me up that everyone is all surprised when it snows. This happens every.single.winter. this is nothing new people.
/end rant.
Re: If you've lived in Michigan for a long time....
I grew up on the west side of the state where we get a TON more snow than here... I mean we get a foot of snow over there, when we get 3-4 inches here. I had to learn how to drive in that.
I think this side of the state just has more aggressive drivers (snow or not), which leads to them freaking out in the snow. You can't drive aggressively in crappy weather!!! It's just not safe!
But yes, I agree completely that people freak out over here when there is a little bit of snow... It's annoying...

If it makes you feel any better, it's not a MI thing. Here in Houston, where it rains all.the.time. (except this summer of course!) people go stupid whenever there is a drizzle. I think kzoo was right...it's all about the driver and just going dumb!
My friend's FB status reads "I swear everyone's IQ drops 50 points in teh snow" to which someone replied " and another 50 on the road in the snow ".
... That's really unfortunate since the average IQ is 100 ...
Lol, I was in Austin last year in January and it snowed. People were freaking out. It was pretty funny!

On my way up Haggerty and when I got to Hines there was a car that couldn't get up that little hill area. I felt bad for him but was pissed off that he almost caused a few accidents because of it all!

Losing it...Without Losing it
I used to live in Houston and I agree. It would be practically hurricane weather and you couldn't see 5 feet in front of you and people would still be driving like 80 on the highway. Although, you also would see them a few minutes later crashed on the side of the road.
