Just think millions of fair weather folks dropped into the North Pole with their cars and SUV's. shocked

Plows were of no use. If anything, they made it worse.


So youse guys don't know the coefficient of friction reduces with ice? smile Uh that was here this morning....with a little fresh snow on top of it...my wife drives 50 miles to work shocked Neanderthals....


It weren't that bubba!!! crazy Nothing was even moving!!! I bet you western hillbillies ain't never even seen gridlock huh? I know people who were pizzed 'cos they wrecked trying to get to Waffle House. Purty sure that's what started it all. laugh

Good to see ya back Keith!!

BTW this thing happened way outside of Atlanta. I was half way to ATL from South Carolina and hit the madness. I shot the median and went back home....just as your wife would have smartly done!! grin
