When I tell people I'm originally from Florida and they ask "aren't you scared of the winters in Virginia?", my response is "I lived in Chicago once, the winters here don't scare me." That said, I typically stay off the roads when its snowing because while I trust my driving, I don't trust the driving skills of others on the road.

The winters Virginia typically gets are like a dusting in Upstate NY. Blue collar guys get stuff done when its needed.
