> Wanna learn how to drive in the snow? Tackle an unplowed, 45 degree hill littered with vehicles that didn't make it.

This isn’t great advice unless you want your insurance premiums to go up.

If you want to learn to drive in the snow, drive in the snow. Get a feel for your vehicle. Drive slower than you think you need to. Know your route ahead of time and avoid inclines if possible.

Don’t play pinball with your car down a hill full of other cars.

I wasn't actually suggesting people do that. I'm saying that many people who claim to know how to drive in the snow come from places where it snows a lot, but they don't have Western Washington hilly terrain and their streets are regularly plowed, sanded, etc. Hence, they have not actually driven in the snow. The safest way to drive in the snow is to stay home.
