Didn't have much experience with icy/snowy roads until I spent 2 winters in Germany but have a good deal of experience in the wet from teaching myself car control on empty wet parking lots in the late 60's but every time it got cold enough to snow here, I was out in it! But during that freeze, there was mostly ice however, I was out in that too.
A wet cold is much worst lol
I'm ESE of Houston....Pasadena borders Houston but I live on the far east side of Pasadena. It's about a 5 minute walk to the next town....
Sorry for your loss....condolences to the family and friends.
