Snow covered roads in Oklahoma scare me. I grew up in New Hampshire and Maine, lived in Germany for six years (Bad Kreuznach und Ansbach), and spent a couple winters in the 'lake effect' by Tug Hill, NY.
A light snow in Oklahoma is worse. There are no fleets of snow plows and sand trucks. The base of the snow is usually ice. Nobody has snow tires and few people have experience driving in it. Every 'cowboy' (and Indian) with a 4x4 thinks he is invincible and has to get out on the road and drive like it was dry pavement in the summer. The body shops can't keep up.
