True SUV tales of Action Adventure

As I left for Chapel Hill for Spring break last week, it started to snow. I thought that accumulation was out of the question, but 20 minutes out there was a significant accumulation of slush even on the interstate. There were identifiable ruts in the slush, and driving wasn't dangerous if you kept your speed reasonable and didn't drive like an idiot. Although there were a couple of sliding incidents before the snow gave out, I saw the remnants of but a single accident, a lone SUV sitting nose-down in a steep part of the median, stuck, its driver sitting behind the wheel, smoking.

How many times do we have to say it? Four wheel drive does not keep you from sliding off the road...
