Subject: [Leica] You Call that SNOW!?!?

Well let's put it this way, B.D...I used to work for a company here in 
NC that relocated here from Waltham, Mass.  The first time we had a 
couple of inches of snow, all the Boston transplants gave us locals a 
bunch of grief about being wusses and staying off the roads...nevermind 
the fact that of the 24 that relocated here fully 1/3 of these 'expert 
snow drivers' found themselves in the ditch when they slid off the 
road.  They thought they could drive in snow...they found out that they 
could drive on PLOWED roads, not snow covered rural roads.  Next time 
it snowed, they stayed home :)

Besides, without us, where would CNN get all the images of fools 
sliding around on ice-covered bridges and roads?
