I enjoy putting characters in situations to see how they would do things vs how I would. On ice? I'm from Western NY - the snow belt part. I've shoveled more snow than most people have seen on TV. Blizzard of 77, baby! Now I live in NC where no one knows how to drive in bad weather of any sort - where people fully stop at lights on ice then sit and spin or slide backward downhill. I drive around them on the shoulder to not break traction.
Tip: carry a bag of kitty litter in your trunk during winter. If you get stuck, you have something to spread around a couple tires to help regain traction. Never Fully Stop unless you have no choice.
The problem here wasn't me ... it was all the Texas drivers who 1) don't understand slippery roads and 2) never like to slow down regardless! I was a snow ninja in Ohio, but I was fortunate to be surrounded by people who understood and respected winter weather. Not so here!
