I'm in So Cal also and never have to worry about driving in snow, rarely 
even rain.  I worry about losing traction from something completely 
different.  Road Oil!!! There is no avoiding having your front wheel 
constantly riding in the center of the lane where all the cars drip 
their leaking oil. At least on a 2 wheel motorcycle you can pick a side 
and avoid it.  I've only driven in the rain a few times but when I did 
and hit the brakes hard a few times the front wheel skipped and slid a 
little.  Not really a vehicle you want to drive in rain or snow unless 
it's low speed.
