    BOTH of those pictures make me cringe inside. On the outside, I just shake my head and walk away, but on the inside I'm putting 9-1-1 on speeddial for those two idiots.

    Oh, you're not the only one. With that said, as an electrician myself, I find it hilarious and terrifying at the same time, both for the exact same reason: whoever did the wiring had no idea what they were doing.

    It's also my go-to feeling whenever it snows on the South end of Vancouver Island: hilarious to watch fellow drivers panic over the white stuff because they don't know how to drive in it, yet terrifying to share the road with them for the exact same reason, even as an Ontarian with that driving experience.

    I'm trying to teach my mom to use her computer without me. I need to consider this.

    I'm a midwesterner mom. My friend's sister moved to the deep south. There was two inches of snow. Being a midwestern mom, she gave her kids coats and they went to the bus stop with their bags and lunches.

    They came back. "Bus never came, mom."

    She made some calls and found out that any snowfall lead to a cancellation in Georgia (or whichever state they were in).

    And given the number of cars in the ditch, that kind of made sense.

    If you are from a warm climate and have to drive in snow, think about driving in the rain, but only more so.

    If the roads are wet from heavy rain, you need about twice as much distance to brake safely. If the roads are snowy you need about three to four times as much distance to brake safely.

    You also need to give yourself more time and space to make turns or you lose control.

    That's fair. I'm admittedly approaching this within a Canadian context, since the vast majority of the country is expected to know how to deal with these conditions. Much like the Deep South, the south end of Vancouver Island - and to a lesser extent the lower BC mainland - does not typically see snow, instead being among the few regions in Canada more synonymous with tropical-like dry and rainy seasons instead of the conventional four seasons everywhere else.
