I am amazed at some of the foolish accidents you see down here just because people are not used to it. One little slick spot of ice on a bridge can buy you a one way ticket up to the sky. It is not worth it.

I do feel sorry for business owners (particularly small business owners) who are gonna have a financial impact from this..... But... people's lives must come before making a few bucks.

You cannot drive safely when it's below freezing and there is a layer of ice on the road. The only exception to this is if the salt trucks have been running..... i don't see to many of them round these parts.

Be safe everyone... enjoy the down time.... eat up the old food in your pantry that needs to get eaten up.... and talk a little smack on the internet...

That's what snow days are for!

X2. After we got up this morning and saw the conditions we decided to not open the shop today. Not worth risking anyone getting hurt.
When I was a volunteer firefighter we had a night of weather like this and it was wreck after wreck all night long. Had to crawl inside an upside down blazer. It was in a ditch and had a foot of water flowing through it. On my back in that crap at 3:30 in the morning. *** were they thinking when they decided to go for a ride?
