My feelings exactly.On the way to work everyone else on the road seemed to be using caution as they made thier way.....except for this one jerk driving a VW Beetle.This idiot was swerving between cars and blowing red lights like it was going out of style.
 
afraid to stop, unless you have 4 wheal or all drive car. you do your best not to come to a dead stop , just saying in a one wheal drive car,

Is it wrong to want to see morons like that come flying out of their car like the guy in that video from Brazil?
 
its a give in here, when the snow falls , get 3 or 4 inches on the roads, stop signs do not matter, time your self with whats coming so neither have to stop, but again this country driving here not city.
 
Had to be a punk kid in mommys car. Be safe
Right,nobody else had any issues with stopping and obeying the traffic laws or driving at an appropriate rate of speed.

I just kept saying to myself,it's all fun and games until either you veer out of control or a cop runs you down.
 
Hello; Too early to be sure for my area, but the amount of snow may not be as much as predicted a day ago. On a map of the USA I am within 5 miles of where Kentucky, Virginia and Tennessee meet.
Latest estimate around two more inches for Saturday. At 3:26 AM I think there is more than that but not the eight inches +. I spent the afternoon yesterday and today dragging the seven or so inches off of my back awning we got on Wednesday. Warmed up enough to be slushy today and I was able to drag it off. I cobbled together a bit of plywood on a long broom handle at an angle.

So far the power is on. Supposed to be around 8 degrees F tomorrow night. Last winter convinced me after the power went out at five below zero for a few hours. I fixed up the existing flue and have a wood burner.

There are thousands stranded on I-75 not to far from me. Likely on Jellico MT. around Williamsburg KY. Just heard that the National Guard are getting them off the interstate one car at a time. My rule in the winter is to always have at least a half tank or more of fuel when traveling. Also some extra clothes ( dry socks, jackets, gloves, face masks), water, a shovel, a flashlight or two. Hope those folks all make it. Some are reported to be kids.

I know some of you are likely to have it much worse than me. Good luck
 
in a way funny to me, you folks on the east coast get some snow and the world comes to a stop. here in the pacific north west, its just weather, weather we like it or not, (pun intended) and get on with it.
 
last big ice storm was 2 weeks with out power, ate allot of canned chili , and went to work.
