It probably would've been more fun at 50 mph...

[Merge]

DrumandDestroy is right, it would have been much more fun at 50 mph.

Is that you I passed ?

LMAO

I think its funny the first time it snows everyone drives super slow and cautious. After that it can snow like crazy and its like no big deal and everyone just drives normally again.

Gotta get the first one outta the way I suppose.

I just talked to my friend in Leesburg, VA and she said there were lots of car accidents on the roads there today and they only got 1 inch of snow. I was there last week and those people don't know how to drive when the roads are dry. 6 to 8 inches of snow for us is just a dusting.

I love the snow! However I'm not liking it right now. I just broke one of the lights from my snow plow after a branch(that I didn't see) hit the light head on and CRACK...thank goodness for zipties(now holding the light onto the plow frame)! Then two clients later I broke the motor off of my salt spreader while backing up...the motor didn't clear the overly high sidewalk. I finally found a salt that didn't clog up the spreader opening and I only got to use the spreader for one client, then I go and break the damn thing. One of those days that are going to cost me more than I made.

It's kinda like getting back on the bike for the 1st time.

Central PA thing maybe?

Working at a newspaper (the evil leftist media ... LOL) I can tell you this is not really the case. First snow of the year always means a buttload of drivers forget that snow is slippery and we usually spend the day responding to about 50 or so crashes.

On a personal note, I was talking to my dad last night and I mentioned to him that, the older I get, the more scared I get to drive in winter mess. I'd be one of the "old ladies" driving 45 down the highway, especially going down hills.

Hey Rob, it kind of explains itself being the "Leftist Media" since you write for them...

[bassist_25]

IME, many people who normally drive like assholes turn into big wusses when a few flakes hit the road. I don't advocate driving like a maniac in snowy weather, and I definitely advocate extreme caution when there's ice on the road; I don't think that a little bit of snow warrants driving 25 mph under the speed limit on open highways.

[RobTheDrummer]

You people should have saw the California drivers in Northern Nevada when it snowed....It was just stupid.

[ZappasXWife]

the older I get, the more scared I get to drive in winter mess.

me too BDR! What is up with that?? I have been driving an hour each way to work in all kinds of weather for the last 8 years, and my fear only gets worse...I don't understand it, you would think I would get MORE relaxed. Maybe each time I slid out of control it fed my fear.
Now with both of my kids driving too I am a nervous wreck and my kids just laugh at me.
But I must say, yesterday I left State College at 4:30 and had no problem whatsoever getting home. Only tricky part was the big ass hill in front of my house. The roads were just slushy....I'm sure it was different in other areas.

[Jim Price]

I'm an admitted winter driving wimp. Generally, it's not the driving itself that scares me, except on hills, one which I happen to live on...It's dealing with the other people who can't drive in the stuff! Just today I had to slam on the brakes because of some guy's car skidding downhill from a sidestreet onto the main road!

In advance, my apologies to anybody playing a gig up the mountain or in an area where I have to traverse a Cambria or Clearfield County mountain to get to this winter...if the forecast calls for the chance of one damned snowflake falling on a given night, I scrap any plans for heading up the mountain. I've been burned by forecasted "chance of snow flurries" or "chance of snow showers" becoming full-blown blizzards on the mountain tops, and experiencing the ever-popular "white knuckle ride" to get back home safe in one piece...so if it snow, JP don't go...

I think I've hit the "drive like a Grandma" stage year round. Not sure when it happened.

[DrumAndDestroy]

so if it snow, JP don't go...

JP...you're a poet and didn't even know it!

[f.sciarrillo]

I'm cautious in both snow and wet roads. The main reason is not because of the fear of myself, it's the other idiots who drive in it that is fearful.

There are only two things in this world that I hate; that is snow and wal-mart ...

[rreihart]

...so if it snow, JP don't go...

Did you get that line from Johnny Cochran?

[DMFJ03]

In our case, when it snowed, JP showed!

[bassist4life2004]

I hated when i had to drive to altoona every day in the winter and go on the buckhorn, talk about white knuckle driving, going past the White Lady with not only snow, but that ri-god-damn-diculous fog that seems to sit on top of the hill during every kind of weather condition. then doing a fucking luge in my car down that winding hill afterwards before hitting the 90 degree sunny fucking weather that blesses altoona because they hardly get the worst of any snow storm.

I left work on a couple occasions thinking "Oh yea, no snow on the ground, i dont have to stay at my guitarists house tonight" then i get to the top of the buckhorn, otherwise known as "the point of no return" and have to plow through a 20 foot tall wall of snow in fog that you would need a chainsaw to cut.
