Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire We Are a Nation of Weather Wimps?????

It wasn't the 1-3" of snow that was causing the problems....it was the ICE underneath around here and the fact that businesses, schools, etc. all cut people loose at the same time. I don't know anyone that can drive on ice in hilly areas unless they have chains.

I can handle the fun stuff and dish it out. It is when folks get serious about the insults it ceases to be funny to me. But, the Fire is helping toughen my old hide.

You've never been to a Florida/Tennessee game, I guess.

On thick hard ice chains won't do you any good anyway. They can be great in snow but on snow and ice like you got they still aren't a lot of help.

You guys got blindsided.

Yeah, but you see, we all should have known that there was going to be ice covering all the roads. The News in South Dakota said so....

We should have run over to Walmart and bought studded tires, don't ya know!?

No, you should have stayed in bed that morning. Didn't you read your fortune cookie?

3 kinds of people that drive in tennessee in the winter. Guys like me that can drive and drive according to conditions, people who drive so slow when they need momentum the get up hills they can't and the worst kind of idiot, the ones who drive like there's no snow or ice at all.

No different here only we get more practice. It does not seem to help the mentally challenged.

Drivers? We have so many foreigners, so many from Somalia,
China, Mexico. That have never seen snow. Some that have never even seen a car before. And now they are given a license And a car! We had a semi of our glue crash last year in Tn. The driver could not speak a word of English! Not the driver that picked up the load.

Probably have as much luck looking for a pistol in the local Walmart, as you would studded tires or chains. I wouldn't buy them if they had them. No more than I would use them, I likely wouldn't have the same truck the second time I needed them and the way my luck runs they wouldn't fit the new truck.

Drivers have to speak English to get a CDL in the US. That does not explain why so many CDL drivers cannot speak a word of it.

It not just your part of the country tat has so many non English speaking drivers. We have them here and we get lots more coming out of Canada.

Now I will say this, those new immigrants are at least working and they tend to work their tails off to get a start in this country. Liberal welfare bottom feeders would do well to learn from them.

Alright! We got it.....good gravy.

And we get that you like the Seahawks, but I'm sure you won't stop telling us that fact....

Ding.

Hearty bunch down there.

Oh sure, NOW he drops that gem, what with some Southerners getting all defensive and worked up at others making sport of how an event turned out. Painting an entire state, or region with the same brush? Gee whiz, that sure sounds familiar! Where the hell was this comment the past 3000 times the butt of the jokes and ridicule and condemnation and scorn was heaped upon those of us in the Northeast? Sheeit...

But the masses still don't get it. They suck in bad weather no mater where they come from.

The only think I hated more that nasty sloppy weather was dodging the idiots in all conditions weather. Idiots think the must be in front of the big truck or all life on earth will end. No one seems to understand you can't stop 100,000 pounds in ten feet.

Yeah, if you like football.

Wow, just noticed how this thread has grown. I'll go pour another martini, have a couple of bites of kimchi (gearing up for next weeks move) and am counting on being amused over the next 30 minutes as I wade though.
