Greater than one inch of snow + inexperienced drivers = really bad idea.
Unless you live in a place like the IceBox, never, ever leave home when there is a humongous amount of snow. Wisconsonites even stay home early in the season while we wait for the teenagers to get the idea and for the snowbirds to say "fark it" and head to Florida.
Light a fire, snuggle up to the walking carpet and read a good book.
