I was out driving the wife to her dental appointment today with a heavy snowstorm in effect and 6 inches already on the ground.
Only problem was a few people driving too fast and what looked like a foreign student slamming his new sporty Range Rover SUV into a curb angle breaking the axle. They were loading it on a flatbed when we passed on our way back home.


Where is the humor?

You make a comment about amusing southern boys, and then you discuss the stupidity of folks in your
neck of the woods.

What made you think the driver of the Range Rover was 'what looked like a foreign student'?

He learned profiling from YKW.

Should have told people to stay home.
Don't have the guts to "interrupt" business and school.
It happens. The smart ones stayed home.

Yup. School folks, government folks, business folks, TV 'journalists', and probably some
tourists...all stupid. Should have stayed home.


Yup. Every time they get snow or ice down south it's a "disaster."
They were warned by the weatherman.
Shut 'er down.
And if "they" don't, take personal responsibity for yourself.
Or wait in traffic for +24 hours.

Gotta trust them weathermen!!

Well, they elected a Democrat mayor. What more need be said?

Holy crap! That's because they all work there and it effects them
directly and you know how reporters are... Either way, they are ripping
him hard but there are folks living in stores and schools waiting to get
home...

What the hell was he supposed to do? There was no excuse for the way the CNN gal was ripping into
him. She was playing at being Dick Gregory, making herself the news.

Cite that report please.

handles interviews?

You should see how they treat Republicans! Of course, they don't have many Republicans on CNN -
wouldn't want any 'truth' to get out, you know.

I think local or state government can "request" that businesses close or
release early but they can't force it without declaring a state of
emergency. Last time I can recall businesses being forced to close up
here was in the blizzard of '78 when Michael Dukakis (then governor)
declared a state of emergency and banned any civilian auto travel for
almost a week.

My brother in law deferred his trip back to Indiana when he saw the
weather forecast. Atlanta traffic sucks in a sunny summer day.

I am not sure why he goes back at all, at least until Spring.
I think that is the second week of June in Kokomo.

Don't know why many people don't take it seriously. especially in the
south, where they're not equipped to handle smow/ice.
Doesn't happen often, but it's always a disaster.
If public officials had the guts to issue a warning off the roads, most
businesses would comply. Schools is a no-brainer.
It's not uncommon to do so up north.
Hell, even the weather folks will do it often enough.

I use to teach a week-long class on newsletter writing and production at
UND in the late summer. Did that for a number of years. Beautiful
campus, lousy town, and most of the rest of the state...aside from the
northern bit of shore along Lake Michigan...was...awful. Especially in
the summer.

They do tend to get a little crazy when it hits close to home...:)
