Yeah the elevation makes driving in snow scary. People in the PNW also can’t fucking drive on flat snow, but I get it, I learned to drive under the lake effect. But yeah this is easy mode rain driving. The wind isn’t pushing you, there’s no surprise rivers, it’s just wet ground with your wipers on and it’s like that for half the year. You don’t bother using an umbrella, why can’t you drive in this rain
I learned how to drive in the snow because I grew up in the foothills, the boonies. Snow and inclines, flash floods, windstorms take down so many trees that all the routes to … fucking anywhere are blocked for days to a week, along with the power grid.
I, foolishly, expected that that was normal, that everybody learned how treacherous weather can be on driving.
All these damn city slickers just be fucking playing bumper cars, watchin their tiktoks, gorramit!
Seattle, just the city limits of Seattle, has hills taller than things I’ve heard people in the midwest call mountains.
That being said, yeah, you are absolutely correct that almost fucking nobody in the PNW knows jack shit about driving in the snow.
They also know jack shit about driving in the rain, which is… baffling for hopefully obvious reasons.
