It's icy as hell out there and I wish I had stayed home. and I am a Northerner. -- nm - loosilu Jan 28, 10:12
I get that way with friends I know in warmer climes. "You didn't go to work today... because of two inches of snow?!?!" -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 28, 10:11 10
- dude, it depends on the location. two inches of snow on the roads cripples us in seattle. -- nm - kare Jan 28, 10:13 8
  - pfffffffft... wimps - Cuzzin Todd Jan 28, 10:15 2
    - you guys get nice dry snow. what we have today is like glass. I can drive on snow. ain't no one can drive on ice. -- nm - loosilu Jan 28, 10:28
    - dude, i'll fight you. i will. - kare Jan 28, 10:28
  - in the PacNW, it just gets *so* slippery. It's not like the prairies where you get stuck in the snow, or get a white-out - - Beryllium Jan 28, 10:15 4
    - and hilly as f*ck. -- nm - kare Jan 28, 10:27
    - yep... lots of wrecks. i had to take a detour around a bus that got stuck and blocked the whole street yesterday -- nm - Guy is so happy to be back in Portland Jan 28, 10:24
    - also it's such a relatively rare event, people aren't as equipped to deal with it. -- nm - znufrii Jan 28, 10:16 1
      - Victoria's snowplow is basically one guy with a Bobcat -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 10:18
- SheFox asked if I had work this morning. "Honey, I'm a grownup, with a car. Yes, I have work." -- nm - TFox Jan 28, 10:12
That's pretty funny. -- nm - TFox Jan 28, 10:09
hahah! The president, telling people to Nut Up. Neechay. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 10:09
heh. Damn right. You guys are whimps -- nm - oblique Jan 28, 10:08
Sounds like my first night in Richmond, when I saw on the news they were cancelling school because an inch of snow was FORECASTED. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 28, 10:08 8
- Richmond probably has two snow plows total. -- nm - loosilu Jan 28, 10:12 7
  - It is possible to drive on snowy, unplowed roads. Incredible, I know, but true. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 28, 10:15 6
    - And in our nation, it's a great way to get sued when a school bus accident injures kids in a place that drivers can't drive in the stuff. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 28, 10:29
    - you know what, that's a great way to put your car in a ditch. -- nm - loosilu Jan 28, 10:28
    - I've done it, even around here. I got stuck at christmas, that was fun. - Beryllium Jan 28, 10:21
    - Anyone that lives on a side street has to do that here until well after the snow stops since the plows concentrate on the main streets. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 28, 10:17 2
      - I used to have to do that in Ithaca for five winters. It's possible but it's dangerous and it sucks. -- nm - loosilu Jan 28, 10:29
      - my parents cuoldn't get ouf of their street when it showed in Portland over Christmas - znufrii Jan 28, 10:19
