Is there a word out there somewhere for the fear of driving on snow and/or ice? If not, could you please invent one?
I am from Wisconsin and no stranger to wintery road conditions. Most drivers in the midwest are used to driving on snow and can do so without any problem. But there are those out there that drive so slow you can count the number of stones stuck in their tire treads. I think these people deserve to have a phobia named in their honor.
I hope there is a word for it, because I have it! 😉
hodophobia is the fear of road travel and chionophobia is the fear of snow.
Ooooo, Sam, what a good question! Having grown up in Louisville, Ky., I'd have said "being from Louisville." A flurry of snow, and traffic slows to a creep.
Looking forward to seeing more answers!
I'm going to take a stab at creating a new word. How does "CHIONODROMOPHOBIA" work as a word meaning "the fear of snowy roads" ?
