Re: snow anyone?

over here in MS we've been getting teased more or less. the roads in to were were a tad risky but clear on the way home. I feel we are going to get a good one in the N MS/TN area by mid march.

if you got a fairly deep set of gears and a 5 speed and hit ice when you shift, it ain't fun in a third gen. had to be really careful. then ended up sitting here most of the day.... i wasn't happy

Re: snow anyone?

I'm in west/central North Carolina. We got about 8"-9" here. We NEVER get that much. Usually no more than 2"-3" about every 7-8 years. I hate it. Not that it matters too much this time; I broke my left leg on Feb. 7th & I've been "out of comission" since. The closest I've come to the snow is seeing it from the couch through the front windows.

Re: snow anyone?

Keep those Birds and Maros tucked away, they suck in snow.

We had about 10" last storm, just north in PA they got 20"

You guys down south get Ice ... I rather have snow than ice, ice is nasty.

Stay safe.
