This storm is traveling to the Northeast. The line between rain and snow is creeping towards me ever so slowly. Hoping we don't get more than a few inches, but they are calling for close to 8" by Friday. Enough rain has fallen we would have had a foot of snow by now if it weren't for 54° temps yesterday.

I am hanging by a thread! 😖

The outcome of this storm will determine if I get my son for the weekend. So that is part of it. Due to other circumstances, I haven't seen him for going on 3 weeks 🙁
 
Oh that blower is sweet. Which one is it? That's funny just talking about those
 
Texas got a little snow, and the videos of traumatic driving conditions started flooding the internet. Everything is bigger in Texas but the snowfall, but their reaction to a little snow is pretty priceless 🤣

Oh it's just like my sister in SC. They shut down the state because of two inches... shoot they don't even plow two inches in Jersey. They laugh and fish tail the turns on the off ramps.... and keep on going...
 
Ok, it is humorous, but come on, give 'em a little break. These are people who have most likely never driven on snow, and they probably don't have the, very important, proper tires. Plus, they have no provision for sanding the roads.
It's the equivalent of handing an airplane radio to a visually impaired, thumbless individual, on a very windy day. 😁

It's just funny because I was looking at our weather as the storm was blowing over, and one of the vids on the page was about a woman on the interstate in Texas being stuck in the same spot for 12 hours because the road was icy. No snow. Just ice.

I had a '95 Ford Ranger. While at work we had freezing rain. The perfectly smooth parking lot was on about a 2° incline. When everyone backed out of their parking spots, their vehicles kept sliding til they hit the curb 25 yards away at the bottom. Some damaging their wheels. I backed up, put it in gear, and drove away, drifting out of the lot.

The roads were just as bad. It took me 7 hours to get home on a drive that normally took me an hour and a half. But I never stopped moving forward. Backtracked a couple times. But once I decided to take the back roads it was smooth sailing.

I didn't say it wasn't necessary. I just found it hilarious when my rents told me they shut down SC because of a inches or so. And your rite they don't have any short of snow removal equipment. They had to get it from out of state to come spread ice melt 🤣🤣

They should have just used all the readily available frying oil they cook with, down South, to melt all the snow and ice 🤣

I keep reading the title of this thread as "The Suspension is killing me" 🤣

Our town would be paralyzed if we even got a dusting. Nobody here can drive as it is, it's bad enough that everyone gets out their winter gear when it drops below 80°F. :doh:
