in SC the city shut down bc it might snow the next day. They put salt down everywhere. It didn't snow. The salt ended up being a fall hazard. Hahahaha. I got a free day off at least.
I'm just north of Atlanta. I don't know if anyone remembers the cluster fuck of 2014 when we had snow and ice and people were stranded everywhere. I was lucky to only take 6.5 hours to get home.
Late to the game but YES I remember that cluster...it was like everyone in the ATL was stuck on the road....
It was H's birthday and he was helping people get out of ditches (he has a jeep) and salting the roads. Our neighbor didn't get home until the next day and they had been in their car for 15+ hours. It was hellish.
abvintage ignore the mocking - I kind of love you right now for knowing your limits in wintry weather. I grew up in western NY - we got feet of snow every year. I'm very used to driving on ice and snow. But now I live in Northern Virginia where they treat snow like the first sign of the apocalpyse. My first year here, they closed school because snow was in the forecast the next day. There was no snow.
But in all seriousness, the snow isn't the biggest problem. The most dangerous thing about bad weather is the people who think they can drive normally on snow and ice. I've seen so many accidents because people don't understand that having a giant 4x4 doesn't make them immune to road conditions.
abvintage I had a former coworker comment on my first day of work FB status about daycare a being Petri dish.. I was already upset. ETA: she was a SAHM until her kids went to college.
I remember in Tennessee, people would drive like, "all bets are off" in any serious amount of snow. They wouldn't use lanes anymore. I once saw someone stop at a red light and then just go, when the light was still red, as if it had turned into a four way stop or something. It was like the rules didn't apply anymore. Anarchy. Wild Wild West.
