Try at least 110 mph. World Rally car.

These guys are faster on snow and ice than most of us would be on dry pavement.

In Bflo, 70,000 folks went to an outdoor NHL game in snowstorm.

It was great.

I didn’t make this up, but a fellow freeper said that there
was always a run on bread, milk and eggs in advance of a big storm. Apparently everybody makes french toast.

Fer Gawd's sake, somebody,

And, a few of these...

I’m in the heart of the snowbelt 30 miles east of Cleveland. We received 14” yesterday and it’s still snowing. We average well over 100+ inches a year. Thanks goodness my husband has a front-end loader to move the snow in addition to the plow. Happy New Year, everyone.

While I strongly agree with the sentiment, it’s also worth noting that 4 x 0 = 0.

[Fresh Wind]

Years ago, my employer distributed little pamphlets containing winter driving tips.

One of the recommendations was “stay spaced out in traffic”.

I wonder what they meant by that?

[FreedomPoster]

I watched some of that, it was good stuff.

My experience in the snow belt was a few trips to Erie where wife to be lived. Nice place to visit, but........

[GOP_Lady]

LOL. Why do you think hubby and I love the desert? 11 years ago this past November, band after band came across Lake Erie for three days non-stop; we ended up with 80”. I’m amazed that we got through November and December with hardly any snow to talk about considering Lake Erie is still wide open.

With the price of milk and eggs, a new menu is going to have to be invented.

LOL!

Thanks, At the time(not any more), I was a fire alarm tech and even had my own elevator door key (the rod with the toggle on the end). It was in my tool box, but as I recall, you can only use those from the outside.

[cva66snipe]

On some of them a flat head screwdriver worked. You just put it in caught the latch from underneath and pulled up. You can also run the elevator from on top of the car. I was on one of them one time with an elevator guy that was enough for me LOL..

Tennessee drivers are the slowest drivers on the Earth in the snow, that is if they ever leave their home once it snows at all. Even better is the pre-snow ritual that clears out the grocery store every time there was a snow prediction which was always wrong in East Tennessee when I was growing up.

Something tells me those aren’t summer performance tires. Or even M&S-rated all-seasons.

[1rudeboy]

Speed-rated snow tires for the win!
