Supposed to be in the 60s Saturday though.
Welcome to my life. And it will snow all the way down to -50.

I think I should just buy a new GPS for myself because mine has been acting up but I don't know what's good right now..
I would just put that money towards a new phone with NAV.

I wish we could get some of that. They shut down the schools for 2 days, and we've seen nary a drop of moisture yet, much less any snow. Talk about egg on someone's face!!

No sense of direction and you are driving to Charlotte by yourself?


But it's all of the other drivers that you need to worry about down there who have no experience driving in it. So....you all have fun today

Oh, it's coming your way!

I've been just cruising around them. Bad thing is. Now closer to my area and a lot of roads are closed. Gonna have to get creative getting home.

Shouldn't the plural of "Prius" be "Prii?"

It's brutal. The bad part is that the weather all forecasted it 100miles south, all of our equipment for this stuff they sent to Cities south. So now it hits here and is utter chaos. The roads are an inch thick of ice and not much snow on top. People here don't know how to drive in it and also think they should drive fast. I saw probably 50+ cars and trucks in ditches. I had zero problems today going home. I was able to work my way out of the city via side streets and out of the main congestion. But I never was in a hurry and just went in 4wd high. Truck did flawless. I got a ton of pics ill post up.

The last hill I had to go up before home has 7 cars off in the ditches, it's got sharp turns during the hill. I went right up it by staying out of the grooves everyone else cut and would drop my tires off the edge of the road into the dirt which provided great traction.

Took 6.5 hrs to get home. Nice thing was found fresh deer tracks in the snow on my driveway lol.
