Damn.. so much for my awesome (patent pending) buzz word.
roads were a sheet of ice all the way home, abs is a nice thing though.
Yeah, it was just the use of the word that got me. It's a personal aggravation of mine, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
It's mandated for us to have chains atm here. or snow/all weather tires. The cops can actually give you a ticket.
A good time to be in the tire business!
I've heard that some places (such as Toledo, Ohio) have declared a state of emergency and people who are not emergency personnel can be arrested for being out on the roads.:? That's just asinine.
We only got about 14" here but it's drifted up to 5-6' in places. I've been watching every single car get stuck in the 2-3' drift in front of the freeway entrance ramp outside my living-room window...it's great fun watching the snow come over the hood of the cars until they slow to a stop...and the look on the drivers' face always says 'oh man, how did I get stuck?' Even some 4x4s without enough ground clearance are falling victim.
It wasn't that bad of a storm here though. It was just super windy and blowing around a lot.
How much snow did everyone else get? It must have dumped hard somewhere...
Dowaaaahhh? That just a Baltimore city thing? Sounds like some tire sales company owner has a friend on the city council. :rolleyes:Quote:

After about a half hour of shoveling and laying down kitty litter I got up the hill!
This morning I tried going to work and my car got stuck at the end of my driveway. For the first time, I had to phone work and call off.
