LOL at the newly-minted libertarians who would expect the gubmint to come rescue them the moment they got stuck in a drift.
Geeze, I can remember my Dad driving us from New Jersey to Ohio on the PA Turnpike in a snow storm in the wee hours of the night. Probably 6” of snow, dark, no visibility but he was motivated. The trucks had all pulled over but Dad kept going. 2 wheel drive Chevy, probably a Bel-Air or Biscayne.
Screw these public nazis. Tell me I can’t do what I want to do.
Unless you are a fecal faced leftist member of the elite media. sheesh...a year in jail?

Heck, even if you do go out - there’s no where to go - everything’s closed because everyone needs to be off the roads.
We have all become ‘non-essential state employees’
The more horrendously awful the Governor of Massachusetts can portray the coming storm to be, the more horrendously extravagant can his requests for FEMA funds be.
Just kidding...right?
Limbaugh was having quite the field day on this stuff today. The sarcasm was thick enough to cut but I bet it just flew over the heads of the likes of Mayor Doomberg and Gov. Coupe-Deval.
Hey, Deval....Catch me if you can, you moron!
Ah, the nanny state.
Why doesn't he just shoot them on sight? Save the taxpayers three squares and a cot for a year.
By what authority does the governor claim the right to impose a $500 fine or a year in jail on free citizens for driving on the road?
What if a plow driver wants a coffee? Will they let those pick-me-up spots stay open?
Pity the guy whose Wife decides to send him on a Tampon run.
A terrible choice, PMS or the Police.
