We've got almost 2 feet near Nottingham.

The south gets black ice frequently enough in the winter, fyi. I'm sure he's probably seen it.

Probably a lot due to summer tires and the fact southern snow is almost always the mixed stuff that quickly makes ice. No salt or sand on the roads ever either! You guys always forget southern states have no prep or infrastructure for snow. As a Texan I can drive just fine in the snow up here. I wouldn't do it back home though, it's completely different.
