We are sissies.  Not only do we not drive in snow, ice, wind over 35mph, we try not to drive at night, in rain, rush hour traffic and a few others.  If we have to be somewhere on a certain date we leave a few days extras for problems.  We can always find something interesting to see in small town America. Seems every town has a historical museum, which we find fascinating.

Amen! Last week we drove until 9 pm to get home. I was uncomfortable as heck and with the HID conversion I've got plenty of forward lumens. Can't hardly see the the lane markers on the sides though. Even though it was freeway I had driven for 15 years, moderate traffic I was nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs!

My 10 cents worth:  Drive within both your own and the vehicles capabilities.  If you are unsure of either don't go.  I don't mind driving in bad conditions but I won't drive my coach in snow or ice around Chicago as I don't want all that salt and calcium chloride on the chassis.  I know what that can do to vehicles and that scares me!
