I used to think the same way that you do about driving in the rain... but what you fail to realize is that in climates where it rarely rains there is a heavy build-up of oil on the roads. So much so that when it rains, it's slippery as hell for days, not the 30 minutes that we've grown used to in the northeast.
Beyond that, how can you expect a local government to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in snow removal equipment when it only snows about once every 25 years?
When it snowed here a few months ago, there were no snow plows... It's THE FUCKING DESERT!!!
These rare weather anomolies(sp?) do not warrant the investment to handle the barely occasional occurence.
