Thanks for the quick answer to the Atlanta Georgia weather and driving conditions.

Part of being a bit reckless when driving in the snow in a valuable vehicle is not accounting for other morons. I nearly lost my Lexus when, during the first snowstorm of the year, a kid in a Honda Civic burnt around a corner at speeds that would have been risky in the rain let alone snow. A foot or so was the difference between the kid skidding past me and slamming into the front of my SUV at angle that would have surely bent it enough to have it written off. [Of course, then my "full-replacement cost" insurance would have kicked in and I might have been settling in now in a new RX400H...]
