All roads in our area were clear and dry yesterday afternoon. Mr. GG2 and I ventured out to the PO and grocery store. Snow still on the yards but nothing on the roads.
There was still ice in shady spots yesterday afternoon here. OTP, but close-in OTP, on the Northside.
Caucasian ice is no joke either. Just sayin' . . .
Do you mean I-64? As for the ice, the same thing happened to me on I-85 south of Atlanta on Tuesday afternoon. Doing about 60 mph when the car spun out. Fortunately, no one hit us. And yes, it's a God thing.
Apparently you Northern greasers are unable to do a basic cost:benefit analysis. Making that investment for a once-a-decade event doesn’t make the cut.
Then wreck your pick`em up truck, Gomer!
Enjoy your drive, Festus!
Enjoy your feelings of superiority from the Rustbelt.
At least you’ve got that.
