This may be laughable to the northern brothers. But, having driven in both northern and southern snow, let me comment that southern snow is WAY more difficult to drive in. Here is why. The nothern snow is dry mostly and the temps are usually well below freezing. The snow actually isn't too tricky to drive in. Southern snow is a different beast. Why, cause it is usually just below freezing when it snows, the snow is wet, and the first tire to compress the wet snow turns it into ice, no longer snow. Add to that the temp is close to 32 and the top layer of the compacted ice is now wet. Real fun and games.

Be careful.

We also take the coach for the family Christmas tour. When we lived in West Virginia, there were some interesting moments on the WV turnpike going home through the pass in Beckely.
