I don't mind driving in snow, but I am always late and it's miserable for the first 10 minutes until the heater gets going. It's really not a problem if you drive slow and leave enough room in front of you. You can't get away with speeding and tailgating, but there are still a lot of idiots who think because they have SUVs or trucks they can do whatever they want. I only rarely slide, and that almost always comes when I accelerate because my Celica likes to go hard, which is bad in the snow. Occasionally you can feel a slip, but it's not a problem if you, everyone say it together, "Drive slow and Leave plenty of room". It's actually kind of fun. Sometimes I'll stomp on the brakes when the road is clear to try to get a little slide, but even then it's hard to skid.
Now the thing that drives me crazy is the people who think all the rules went out the window just because there is white stuff on the ground. You still have to stop at red lights and just because you can't see the white lines doesn't mean it's one big lane. And for goodness sake don't drive 10 mph.
Now having said all that, I will admit that I loved the snow a lot more when I could play in it all day instead of only driving through it in the dark.
