I live in northern Michigan. We get almost daily snow and/or ice from November through March. Never missed a day of work because of it.

If the snow has stopped and roads clear, not that big a deal. If still
snowing, I don't do thing like that any more. There is nothing that can
happen in my life that cannot be postponed. Especially work. I'm
semi-retired and see no reason to drive to work in the snow these days.

Oh do please **** off . The difference is that up there y'all are prepared
for snow and ice . It's a rare enough occurence here that we don't have a
fleet of snowplows to keep the roads clear . It might be 3 or 4 days before
the county's road graders make it down here to our dirt road . If I really
really had to get out I have chains , but just so Walmart can make a buck on
the wife's labor isn't worth the effort . And BTW , I grew up in snow
country , and have no qualms about driving on snow-covered roads . But up
here they get iced , and winding mountain roads are dangerous .

Snowplows? This state is very religious. God put the snow there and He
will remove it in his own sweet time.

Head out to Colorado sometime if you get a chance. One can drive
for a half hour or so then look down to see where you were at the start.
Then maybe cruise down to the Four Corners area. You'll see some
of the best scenery in the world.

I could say the same. Of course, Thanksgiving weekend is when I
traditionally put the studs on and they come off sometime in the spring
about the time I put the batteries back in the bikes and fire them up.

I've been in Atlanta when they got a couple of inches of snow. It wasn't
pretty.

Here in Birmingham it 17°F at 7:00am and that is very unusual for Alabastan. I looked out the window and there is a lot of snow in the courtyard and a lot of the staff are trapped here because the roads are closed and authorities want people to stay off the iced over streets and highways. The TV and radio stations are on top of Red mountain so those folks had to spend the night at the stations. My brother is up on Rufner Mountain and there is no way to move without an accident because you'd slide right down the hill. Nothing much is moving and the streets are deserted. Lot's of wrecks, jackknifed trucks and people stuck. The 4wd news vehicles are out showing all the 18 wheelers parked on the side of the interstates because they can't move on the black ice. The good thing is that there are no power outages to speak of. ヽ(ヅ)ノ

We have some trucks modified to spread sand and brine plus fitted with attachments for snow plows but we don't have the infrastructure for clearing snow from roads that states up North have. We don't get snow often enough to invest the millions the snow belt states have in snow plows. I don't think anyone considered putting any money into snow clearing equipment until the blizzard of 1993 paralyzed the Southern states. That's when cities, counties and the state highway department modified some of the 6 wheel dump trucks to accept snow abatement gear. The snow plow, brine and sand spreader attachments may sit unused for years before ever being needed again. By that time the trucks that were modified to accept the plows have aged out of the fleet and are sold off. That darn Global Warming has brought us all this snow. Soon, many of us in The South may have to learn how to build igloos, especially after the poles shift and Florida becomes the new North Pole. Jimmy Buffet will have to change the lyrics to his song to "Freezing up in frozen daiquiriville".ヽ(ヅ)ノ

Around here the TT don't pull to the side; no they stay in the lane. Then
the ones behind him pass and proceed to clog up the other lane so no one
moves. Of course the cars are no better... No aspersion upon Mr Bowman here

All the main roads here are clear, but, pavement that's in the shadows
and side streets that weren't treated still have a dusting of snow on
it. When I drove the truck this morning all the snow on it just blew
off, and the truck looked like a dust storm going down the road until

Driving a snow covered car is illegal in many states. That dust storm
can blind other drivers, hard packed snow can do damage. But maybe you
had a good reason and not just lazy.

It's my husbands truck, and it's big. I got as much off of it that I
could reach. It didn't have much on it to begin with, and most of the
stuff that flew off of it was what I wiped off the windshield. I was
sort of surprised that the snow was as lightweight as it was and really
didn't expect it to blow off like it did. It was one of those "whoa!"
moments, and it really didn't last that long.

We had over a foot before Christmas - then got a thaw that knocked
that down by half - and another 8 inches after New Years - with half
an inch at a time since.. My brother up between Huntsville and Parry

getting his machine out of the mud when he was out monitoring the

Not many natives here. Everybody is a transplant from somewhere. I'm
in a quite neighborhood and stay away from downtown. Maybe you stayed
in the upper part of the city, known as "naked city". I warn people
about that area. You should have called me ;-)


North LV is a fine place... I often run I15/93 from MT to AZ and I try
to time my passage through SLC and LV for times when the natives are
subdued.

Used to work on Nellis AFB. NLV has gone to the wolves and gremlins.
Haven't been there in over a decade. Friends that visit and want to go
to the strip, I tell them to have fun. I'll be at home when you get
back.

41°F right now on the East Coast of Las Vegas. Rain expected through
Monday night. Two weeks ago we had some rains. On a single day there
were ~167 car accidents. People can't drive unless the roads are dry.

Lets face it, half of them can't drive PERIOD. What I noticed most
about the "city of lost wages" in November when I was there 20 odd
years ago was the SIRENS. Cop sirens, fire sirens, ambulance sirens -
24 hours a day, constantly, one after the other or fighting to be
heard over each other. Never heard such a racket before or since.

I was in a small hotel just off the strip - I was there for ComDex

We must have missed each other at ComDex. BTDT

I looked out into the courtyard yesterday afternoon and there it was. That rare thing for The South which causes complete chaos when it shows up. Kind of like a herd of toddlers coming for a visit. ヽ(€¢€¿€¢)ノ
