Which is why I said "weather guessers"...Don said:The weather guessers blew this one big time. Instead of East and South of US-1 getting the brunt of it, it's North and West.

Snow doesn't scare me... An inch of ice under snow does...toddje said:So, being a person who grew up in the north and still has a 4x4 pickup and has lived here for 15+ years.... I sat home today.
Here's the thing: It almost never rained inches at a time before it sleeted and snowed up north. Ice is ice. Maybe we will thaw out Tuesday.
Finally have all the snow off surfaces that we walk on. I was kind of disappointed with the hype vs the actual snowfall. I'm sure those of you who got dumped upon are thinking otherwise.rdinatal said:Nothing here in Lake Normanopolis but it's only 2pm with temp at 43deg. Yesterday I went out and filled up the tank in the truck and got 5gal of diesel. I should be set.
We have a full freezer of ham, brats and leftovers. Forgot the propane! Dang it!!

Lots of those side roads are spotty. I have been out and about today and the shady places are still ice.wolfpack65 said:Anyone been out on the roads around the West Clayton side?
Barber Mill Road/42/Guy Rd??
Road conditions ?
Yep. That would be a problem. I'm been putting 'em away like a fat kid with a sack of potato chips.Windini said:Edges of steep driveway visible; rest still covered. Friend made it to the bottom of my driveway in a FrontWD Honda sedan, the only vehicle up our road since FRIDAY (which was me).
Plenty of food, water, propane, wood, etc., on hand.
BUT I'M DOWN TO THREE BEERS.
Wish me luck.

It was either last winter or the one before we got A LOT of really wet snow that then partially froze into thick slush. I took our 4Runner out and while it made it through, I thought it was going to get stuck. Took the same route with my truck next and it did much better. Both were in 4WD mode.Tailhunter;n49834 said:No problems here at all. The 4runner loves snow. Never been stuck. Had it in snow to the bottom of the doors one time in Yankee land chasing big deer.
