Reply to comment by Giving_Cat in Is there a word for out-of-staters who don’t know how to drive in the snow? by cbandes

Yeah, I'm from around where you describe. When you're in Springfield, it's always fun in snow. Last year, I drove during a blizzard on State Route 57 in Agawam and I drifted a little bit. However, while I drifted a little bit, I watched someone drift into the center and down into a slight ditch. These people act like they've never seen snow before after one year.

On another note, my aunt lives in Palm Springs and when it rains these people don't know how to drive either. So, you're right too.

I hated driving on 57 in general but in the snow is an absolute hellscape. Love my hometown but 57 is garbage.

Yeah, I'm from across the river from it. I hate going over the south-end bridge and then trying to get on 57 from the circle under 5.
