Snowpocalyse!

I'll take snow over ice any day. Doesn't matter what you drive or your tires, ice is undrivable

I wish my neighbors realized this. Watched 3 cars spin out and get stuck, one of them hitting a parked car

Where my son is in BC they are still allowed to used studded tires. They may get a foot or two of snow at a time. But as they are in a rain forest, they often get days of rain following that. Barb was out there for 10 days this month. It rained the whole time she was there, night and day. Finally had some sun on her last day. Between that and sunrise being 8:45AM, and sunset being about 4:45PM, she was glad to get home.

I have a lifted Tacoma with AT tires. If it's ice, I'm staying home. 12" of snow, let me at it, i have never gotten stuck, lol

I used to live just outside Tacoma WA (30+ years) so i understand completely. Black ice was the norm if it rained and then froze. It's does that here sometimes too. We are just far enough south that it will get above freezing during the day and freeze overnight

Backroads just can’t get cleared. Off again tomorrow.

Awwww....

Everyone here has at least one 4X4 which is also a problem as well, everyone wants to drive around in the snow
its best not to clear the snow down to black so you get traction

We just got the word that schools are closed through Friday. It's more about bus routes being blocked with downed trees/power lines than anything else. Gives me more time to clean up the disaster in the yard

Bus turn arounds are a big one for us. No trees or lines down thankfully. The superintendent calls me daily for sports decisions. We have had the facilities closed all week and games canceled.

You are in Tennessee right?

Yep... just south of Nashville. We've had a doozy... worst winter event since 1994... and I think this one is worse! At least the kegs (and family) are safe.

I was cutting up fallen branches yesterday... easily a half inch of ice on them. I'd take 2ft of snow over 0.5in of ice any day!
