LOL! Yup, that's me! Untrained DC idiot who has no idea how to drive in snow! At least I know what I don't know. When it snows, I walk. Heavy LL Bean boots are great in the snow, don't need studs or chains, no worrying about what's legal, last a long time, nice and toasty warm. Just tromp along making snowballs and playing as you go! Really safe, lots of fun.
