Why did I think you live in Calgary?
At any rate, coastal British Columbians are wimps when it comes to cold weather. I grew up in the interior where people actually know how to drive in snow and wear shorts until it reaches about 5 degrees.
Oh don't get me started on West Coasts inability to drive
I mean ****, there's two inches, and you're stuck on the exit on Highway 1, your tires spinning indefinitely
HOW
Lol, it's exactly the same here in Virginia/DC. Funny story, couple years ago I was downtown in a snowstorm and this guy managed to get stuck in 3 inches of snow. He spun the tires uselessly for a good half a minute, then finally gave up, stepped out of his car, looked at the tires, and then looked up at the sky with a look of total confusion on his face. I stepped over to help him out and he threw his hands up and said "I DON'T UNDERSTAND, IT JUST WONT GO."
My (unvoiced) response:
YEAH MAN, THIS IS REALLY WEIRD, I MEAN WHAT'S ALL THIS COLD WHITE STUFF ON THE ROAD, IT'S KIND OF SLIPPERY TOO, I DON'T SUPPOSE THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOUR PROBLEM AT ALL. JUST A THOUGHT ANYWAY. OKAY HERE LEMME PUSH YOUR CAR A BIT, YEP, THERE IT GOES, PROBLEM SOLVED. NEXT TIME DON'T COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN AN INTERSECTION, OKAY? AND FOR GOD SAKES IF YOU START TO DRIFT DON'T SLAM ON THE BRAKES. ACTUALLY YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU'RE TOO DUMB TO DRIVE IN THE SNOW, JUST GO HOME AND STAY THERE. ALRIGHT? ALRIGHT, HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.
He got stuck again on the very next block.

I dunno man, it's like the instant a single snowflake sticks to the road all the drivers go DUHHHH and lose half their intelligence points. It's almost magical.
