Wet and dry snow are very different things. Here in the SE US, us locals like to listen to the northerners who move here talk about how good they drive in the snow. We take bets on how far they will get up the road before skidding just for fun
and it's rarely far. Plus we have our own indigenous brand of idiots who aren't any better though they should know better by now. Wet snow is no-go, but dry you can try.
