Default s'noJob snowed in (in one inch of snow!)



Well, it's snowing in NC, and as my Corvette with summer tires "don't go in snow," I'm snowed in. Grounded like a teenager. In one inch of snow.

Time to move to Florida, I guess ...

Your license plate is very appropriate.

Yeah, it sucks to have a daily driver that doesn't drive in snow. Fortunately, it doesn't snow that often in NC.

Sadly, here in Denver we are 5 inches away from the snowiest February on record, and it is currently snowing again.

Crazy weather this year. We've had very little snow and fairly warm temps all winter long.

Hope the weather clears up for the OP soon and you can get the car out for a drive.

In Raleigh they salt the roads before snow storms, but they didn't used to.

We had 5 inches in Wake Forest after yesterday's storm.

that's crazy!!

the salting not snow but i guess both are hahah

I live like an hour from detroit which has the salt mines so salt in michigan is reallyyyyy cheapppp and they still never salt....they throw dirt on the roads instead, and sometimes they'll mix dirt with salt....depends on the county....

we just drive through the snow and ice and no one really thinks about it so much except for the old people who go 30mph down the road

Strange weather this year. Here was my SoCal neighborhood a couple of months ago - first are what it normally looks like year-round and then Dec 31 of last year.
