How hard is it to throw a snow plow on the front of a dump truck? You do have dump trucks, don't you? What about a sander?

Going to paraphrase Neal Boortz here: First of all it is not snow. It may be snow at first but it normally ends up just being a slight layer of snow on ice or gets melted the next day due to temps above freezing and then freezes the next day. Sorry, 4 wheel drive will not help you on ice. Neither will "chains" which are not readily available down here. If you think I'm wrong feel free to come on down sometime and show us how it's done. Second, shut the hell up about not having enough snow plows and salt trucks. We don't get this weather often enough to justify the expense. Why don't you Yankees do what we do when we have these winter storms? When you guys have big storms like Hurricane Sandy we send our people up to help in the form of electric power trucks to help restore the electricity up there. Do we ever see any of your salt trucks or snow plows down here? No? Okay then shut up. Speaking of hurricanes, for the most part we are prepared for those down here because they happen often, just like the north is prepared for winter storms. Unlike Sandy, we didn't make fun of New Jersey for not being as prepared for the storm because they don't happen that often up there, we sent help. We have have a snow/ice storm, 1,000 of people stranded on the roads and what do I hear from Yankees? "I hate the South! You'se guys don't know how to drive in the snow. Just shut up.

Sometime in the mid 90s I passed a Charlotte NC cop on Pineville Matthews Road during a snow fall, he was plodding along at about 15mph and I passed him at about 35, he hit his lights to come after me.
I guess he thought I was driving recklessly for the conditions, and was going to straighten me out. He promptly did a 180 right onto the right hand curb and over into a parking lot. Good times |

It's not that folks down south can't drive on ice, because no one can really. It's just how ridiculously out of hand the situation has gotten down there due to a tiny amount of snow.

Since I grew up in OH, as well as lived in MA, CT, PA, WI, MN, & IL as well as Finland and Sweden...I know how to drive in the snow and ice. What Atlanta has (especially north of ATL) are things called "hills". When ice gets on hills...the cars slide back down the hill if they do not have the traction I drove 15 hours in it yesterday...it sucked. It was the worse winter driving I have ever encountered due to the solid 1-2" of ice layer under the powder snow. |

The south is not prepared for winter in any way. Just call a spade a spade. Spend a couple hundred thousand of all the "state of emergency" money the Governors are requesting on some equipment and some salt/sand and be done with it.
I'm sorry but brining the roads 2 full days before the storm is fucking retarded and useless especially when you know its suppsed to rain for the first 18 hours of the storm. Learn crom the states that deal with winter weather on a regular basis and uit trying to re-invent the wheel. I grew up in a snow state, and have no issues driving in the weather down here. Yes, its icy as hell at my house and on my commute, cautious driving or STAYING OFF THE FUCKING ROADS goes a long way. I went out and drove around today through our state of emergency without issue and saw a bunch of idiots scattered all over the roads and ditches. Hell the southerners have a hard time driving in the rainlet alone winter weather. Don't blame the government and north/south prejudices for simple unpreparedness. None of the stores around here sell rock salt or salted sand. So i went out in my front yard to the ocean and grabbed some wet sand from the salt water. Guess what i spread on my steps to make them safe for my family and dog?? If I can think of this why canmt the rest of the residents? Why are residents calling 911 because they don't have enough food and they have been "trapped" in their homes for 2 days? Seriously, take some responsibility. |

Some lady was mad that her road hadn't been instantly plowed on a weekend night I tried to be really polite in explaining that it was equally bad all over and the plows would get to her road eventually..... |
