Just take baby steps and it will get better. Its actually not the fear of driving it is more likely a fear of crashing or not knowing what to do.

That's some really good advice. Baby steps are what I've been trying to do.. I too have anxiety driving in the snow, heavy rain, etc.. Baby steps in all aspects of life.. Can't just jump into it or avoid it. Avoiding it just grows the fear.
