Holy Cow.....
« on: January 20, 2025, 11:15:49 AM »
3 to 5 inches of snow expected. Extremely rare. Even snow expected in Galveston Texas.
LOL we are closing the shop tomorrow and Wednesday. We don't drive on snow and ice.

Pretty wild.  They're calling for 5-8 inches in New Orleans.  3-5 in Pensacola and 2-3 in Tallahassee.  Not enough cows farting this year, I guess.

You'll likely see poorly made snowmen in every other yard.

Those of us that live in the north tend to laugh at the havoc a dusting of snow causes down south.

Snow day for folks that don't have 4wd/AWD sounds appropriate

I've lived in the north and south. Even in the north come that first big snow and ice storm you get idiots in 4 wheel drive trucks driving like they can stop better because of the 4WD. They cannot and do not. I had a 4WD Silveraydo so know this first hand. You see one coming up to a 4 way stop better wait for them to stop.

I only have 4wds, and because I have lived all over the US and Canada, I know to keep it in 2wd on snow and ice.

Galveston is one of my favorite little towns right after Pensacola. Can't imagine snow there.

Unless everyone stays home you're gonna see a lot of vehicles, especially trucks, plowed into guard rails along the roads. Happens in the Dallas area whenever the roads get icy.

The worst is on bridges. Some drive along too fast thinking this is not bad. They come to a bridge, start sliding, and hit their brakes. Only experience teaches you don't do that but they have no experience.
