Just moved from New Brunswick, Canada to the US south a couple months ago. Got their first snowfall of the year Wednesday, I saw over 30 cars crashed on the side of the road, it took me 2.5 hours in traffic to make a 30 minute drive, and this transport jacknifed right in front of me.

No wonder southerners lost the war. These incompetent fucks can't do anything right except gain weight.

It's really not that bad. Any accidents usually come from teenagers who are too stupid to drive safe in good weather.

Most of the adult in the area I live are so scared of ice they actually drive super safe.
