Snow chickens: your new word of the day

Snow chickens.

This is the phrase my wife has coined for drivers who won't get behind the wheel of the car, at the slightest intimation of flurries. This is an overdue phrase in Nova Bastille, which endures yearly prognostications that we're all going to perish beneath 50 feet of snow and glaciers six miles long.
Your assistance is appreciated in getting this term into the dictionary.

See also "rain chickens," for a related species of driver.

I love "snow chickens". My favortie phenomenon about that area is how people swarm into gas stations and supermarkets when they hear tell of the slightest chance of snow or rain...it's really amusing. The end of the world is coming, make sure we have enough cheetos.
