The guys who get paid to save you would rather not be out there because of you. One stuck car can close down the whole road, 4 wheel drive is for getting out of stuff, not getting through. If you need 4 wheel drive to get there, don't bother, most people don't have it and won't be going out in bad weather.
My brother and I used to spend hours pulling, digging or just driving stuck cars back onto the road during dangerous winter storms - but there were places we wouldn't go.

I was a dish washer and my shirt would always be wet. The moment I would open the door and the cold air hit my shirt, it would freeze solid. I miss that. It was fun while it lasted. |

Everything south of Cleveland and Toledo shuts down after 3-4 inches. I hope everyone rushed out to the local Kroger store to stock up on bread and milk.

And I'm not upset by that fact.
What they would call a normal snow we call something else.
So far about 6" and still coming down ,really wet ,good snowball and snowman snow.
I lived in Washington state for 8+ years ,I remember going thru areas of the state where the snow was ridiculous. They could say "IT DOESN'T SNOW IN MINNESOTA!" mt rainer paradise ranger station averages over 600" a season.
We don't sink tons of money in preparedness. This is the first snow we've seen in a year. So when it happens its a big deal .
We did have a blizzard in '78?....school was out at least two weeks . I was 10 at the time ,,,one of the best winters of my life . All we did was play in the snow without any of the adult responsibilities or worries. |

|  | Yeah, I've got the moves like Jagger. | | Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: G.R. MI | | | Still NO SNOW at all on the ground in SW Michigan, and they say we might just get a whole 2" out of this thing today.........
Looks like there's something out west heading this way though.
Just remember: Start, Stop, and Turn slowly.

We're up to 9 over here. Feels like a heat wave - and I haven't shoveled snow in 2 days!!
