I recall one time here in "Sunny Tennessee" one wintry night we had rain which turned into sleet & then a bit of snow on top of that. All schools & many businesses were closed, but not ours, we didn't close for anything . At the time I was driving an old 1964 Ford F100 2WD pickup to work. Made it in with no problem. The ones who didn't was one import from Michigan & those with 4WD trucks.
As our Michigan co-worker learned that day driving on southern sleet & wet snow is about as different from driving on piled up dry snow as is playing football compared to table tennis. You either learn to handle it or you end up in the ditch, which he did.
