Seven reasons winter travel is so terrible in the Northwest

1. Because it snows like once a year, and everybody forgets to drive in the snow
   
   
2. No resources to remove snow because it snows just once a year and overdoing it is a waste of resources
   
   
3. Somehow the feds forget to sand and salt the interstate highways
   
   
4. Seattle and city folks think driving in the snow is no big deal and snow tires and chains are a big fat scam
   
   
5. The roads are all curvy and the weather's windy in the mountains unlike the East, so it gets worse with accidents
   
   
6. 28-wheeler semi trucks on single-lane highways are already dangerous, in snow rain and wind it gets as bad as it can get.
   
   
7. Everybody drives like an effing idiot all the time!
