a small snow storm will debilitate the valley and bay area... stuff like that just doesn't happen too often here.

On the i5 rain the threat is real on first rains as the roads have trace oil that will wash off and cars will shed months of carwash soap residue.



I've heard that before - is it urban legend, or is there some truth to it?


It's in the CA DMV handbook that the roads are most dangerous in "first rain" conditions. You get tested on it!


Sure; I've answered that question on that test. It seemed odd at the time, to find an urban legend in the DMV test.
