It's snowing madly out there. I hate driving in snow. And I have studded tires, too. Thankfully winter's been here long enough that everyone should have been reminded by now that, yes, this is Utah, and roads get icy. Now if only the idiots in the SUVs would remember that 4WD means shit on ice.

How common are SUVs on the highways of other people's towns? Here at least half and easily more of the vehicles on the road are stupidly big gas hogs--too often with an idiot on a cell phone behind the wheel.

I'd need an x-ray. Being contagious isn't good enough to get out of showing up.

Amazingly common. Far too much so, in my hippie opinion.

Very. Including my own. And, it annoys me when SUVs go speeding down snowy streets because, yes, you have better control when driving, but it does jack for you when stopping.

In mememe news, 2 classes down, one to go! Finished one class last week. Will finish another tonight (all my assignments are turned in, we just have one more class session). Finals are next week, but neither of those 2 have finals. Yay!!!!

I still have to bust my ass for my last project (due Thursday), but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Up here in the snow belt (north of Syracuse) I'm a little bit worried about how we're going to do without one. SUVs and pickup trucks are the norm.

AmyLiz- not to be stalkerish, but I think you may be the closest Buffista to me! I am in Rochester.

Also, we have many SUV's here-- not so many pickups-- but also a lot of Honda Accords, Suburu's, etc...

At least half SUV's around here too. Note that we don't have severe weather, just gas-guzzlin' republicans.

Plenty of penis substitutes here, too.

Rhetorical question:

They make reduced fat wheat thins, which are less greasy than the normal, but still too salty. They make reduced sodium wheat things, which are less salty than the original, but still too greasy. Why oh why don't they make reduced fat AND sodium wheat thins? That would be perfection.

How common are SUVs on the highways of other people's towns?

Way too common. We're as likely to get iced up roads as we are to get major snow (that is to say, 2-3 times a year, at most), and 4WD, as connie mentioned, isn't particularly useful on ice.

Once we get any major winter precipitation around Durham, the best bet is to stay home (if you're lucky enough to be home) and sip tea. Or whiskey. People here just don't have the necessary experience driving in snow. That includes me, since I moved down from MI before my first winter with a drivers licence.
