Aaron,

You probably know this, but on the off chance you don't understand why
the previous two posters were stressing driving in snow in the Sierras
to someone raised in ski country back East, google the Donner Party.

John, I abhor the implication that California is a haven for cannibalism. It
is well known that we now have the problem relatively under control.

Gary,

As a native San Franciscan (who moved some 62 years ago), I'm glad to
learn that the state has progressed in the last 164 years. Seriously,
I only wanted to point out that snow in the Sierras is not a triffling
matter and needs to be treated with respect.
