Wise decision.  You don't want to be riding (& sliding) on that slippery

Trust me :O|.

Hey, that happens all over where snow isn't a normal part of the landscape.
I remember a snowy day here in Portland seeing a brand new BMW (cage) lying
on its side in the middle of an intersection and the highly polished and

like "I don't know how it happened".  I guess he thought he could drive like
it was dry pavement. . .
