As a friend pithily phrased it, "Four wheel drive doen't mean four wheel 
stop." 

And my favorite driving in snow story is from high school (Charlotte) when 
snow cancelled class midday but the buses weren't ready to roll on the 
snowy roads. One of my classmates had a dad who collected military 
vehicles, so dad came to pick her and her friends up in his WWI halftrack 
truck. I was having flashbacks to the Rat Patrol.
