Ice storms in the south suck a lot more than they do up north. Northern states have the infrastructure to deal with ice/snow. I used to live in Arkansas, and the 2 times (while I lived there) that it snowed, the city governments were using graders as snow plows and were spreading ash (yes, I said ash) on the roads to help with traction. Needless to say, there were a lot of accidents during those storms.
Tires can always make a big difference, but they will not always save you. Sometimes **** happens, and all you can do is hang on. Glad to see you're ok, OP. Hopefully you get a nice new ride to enjoy.
