Dash cams are becoming more popular, as the cost of them drops and are

Well, I really don't think it's fair to compare northern Wisconsin drivers to
someone from the NYC/New Jersey area. They would also terrify me in the snow!
Upstate New York, yes, fair comparison, but not The City. My wife is from The
City, I can barely ride with her in dry and sunny weather.
Upstate NY usually gets freezing rain then anywhere from inches to feet of
snow on top of it. I have driven in all seasons on and off road in both NC
and NY. Winter driving in NY is best described to Southern folk like
