I'm not being a Richard at all. I truly worry for people in warmer areas when they get hit with cold/snowy/icy weather. It's treacherous to drive on regardless of your experience level.
My mother, born and raised on the Northern Plains, was terrified of it and flat out refused to drive in it/ on it unless it was an absolute emergency. It had to be something like one of us kids getting sick or dad needing med supplies for the cattle or horses. |

Fed Ex did NOT deliver today. I get they're backed up. And I'm grateful they've not gone anti 2nd Amendment like UPS, though some of my distributors are still using UPS.
