Is Everyone Safe? Winter Mess!
Topic 34573 | Page 2
Wow, it's odd living in the mountains in Upstate New York and hearing about winter everywhere else. We only have a few inches now and haven't had more than a foot on the ground yet this year, but we've had relatively cold temps with highs in the teens and lows near zero. I've had to use the snowblower four times so far, which is about normal. I wouldn't have to use it that often, but my driveway is 1/4 mile long and it rises about 100 feet. It's rather steep at times.
They say another cold front is moving down from the Arctic next week. Be ready!
Man.. i can't believe there is snow on the ground in atlanta... the roads are all clear.I lived in Atlanta years ago, and we had an ice storm with cold temps that lasted for a few days. They had no way of salting the roads, so everyone was trapped at home even though there was no snow on the ground at all. Back in Buffalo, we wouldn't have even had to pause for that. They would have had the roads salted before the storm. But in Atlanta, they would say, "God put it there, and God will take it away."
Today i drove through a storm from the gulf into florida. I am ready for sunshine again 😁
Burrrr... -12°f East of Shalersville, Ohio at the Portage Service Plaza on I-80 this morning. The little heater barely keeping up, haha. Sure like my sleeping bag.

I had -6 in Memphis TX. Happily idling away with no idle restrictions and no fuel restrictions.
Indiana here... -4 with windchill -23
Beckley,WV checking with clean, dry roads and about 17F.
BRRRRR ! I don't miss those temp's or the snowy white stuff! Stay safe and warm out there! It's a balmy 5 am here, more rain around 3am temps' @26cels / 78.8F mostly cloudy again. I do get tired of this constant rainy season, hard to plan a day off the mountain into the city. The weather here can change in minutes, from sunny to sudden rain showers lol.

I’m in NJ. 18 deg dropping to 8 tonight. Guess I would have had it if I stayed home too since the south got hit again.
Mother nature can take a nice long walk off a short pier. Weather whiplash for me, TX to WA and back. At least I got to hug my dad.

I'm back in Illinois tonight. There's still a lot of ice and snow at the truck stops. Thankfully, the roads are good.
