I did that in college to make a little extra money. I loved it (then). Was the first I ever knew there was more than one 4 o'clock.
I agree that you guys that get the ice storms are in a world of hurt. Freezing rain is the second worst stuff I have ever driven in (several blizzards were the worst - sucks when you cant even see the front of your truck, and you cant stop cause someone behind you will never see you).
In our area, people in Exporers are the worst drivers in these conditions. They are the soccer mom vehicle of choice, and most have no clue as to the conditions. Most guys in trucks drive fairly sane, albeit a little faster than the cars. I've driven probably a hunderd thousand miles in snow and ice in my time - been lucky, been good, and been damn lucky a couple times, but have never been more than just a little sideways. But I also had to laugh at the guys trying to get to work in their 'Vettes and Mustangs. I'm not really sure what their thought process was to think that they were making a good choice drivng something like that in conditions like this.
The one nice thing is that holiday shopping has been much nicer for those of us who completely avoid the malls at this time of year.
