We have a weird mixture of opposites here -- people who think, "oh, it's just a bit of snow," and carry on as if it were dry, and people who think, "OMGSNOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!!" and drive so slowly that they don't keep momentum and get stuck. What's really fun is when people haven't thought about the fact that there is frequently rather a lot of ice. And ice is not at all fun. It is for this reason that I now live half an hour's walk from campus and a quarter hour from the nearest supermarket!
