Menopause and Prostate in the same sentence, hmmmmmm... LOL
Messy drive in Fairbanks this afternoon. Ice fog frosts the streets. Temp climbs up to 32.
But, we, for the most part, are used to it and prepared.
I was much younger, driving from Las Cruces to ABQ, it was light snow and we were taking it easy.
I got passed by a jeep going about 70. I was doing, 45-50.
Came up upon him, on his side in the median about 3 miles after he passed.
Thanks Luv!
I’ve noticed that here in Silicon Valley, too. Prius drivers are the biggest aholes on the road followed by all BMW and Audi drivers. And we are seriously infested with them.
I remember driving to work in N. Canton, OH — wind shrieking, snow piling up in the road cuts and blowing sideways. Then the guard at work asked “WHAT are YOU doing here??? We’re closed!”
After years of driving in Western blizzards, I couldn’t imagine a little blow like that keeping people from work. Besides, who’d ever heard of a Snow Day for work? That only keeps little kids out of school, not adults.
Wussy Ohioans!
Temperatures starting falling like a rock this afternoon here in NW Iowa. Dropped 35 degrees. Howling northwest wind. I don’t see any temps in the forecast above freezing now, day or night, for the next ten days.
I forgot one of the cars that are often driven by the angry left, the Honda Fit.
The Ferguson agitators will probably have gone home by spring thaw.
I’d love to see them freeze their butts off. So sick of this, I’ve become very intolerant.
Right now my temperature meter says 7F is the outside temp and 72F is the inside temp with the wood burning stove cranked up. I hauled wood inside before the storm.
Of course we have three months of Air Conditioning and nine months of open windows. Our official average annual snow fall is zero inches.

Beautiful fall weather here is Western Pa. today, people without jackets even!.........doesn’t look like cooler temps here until Wed./Thurs...might be snow flurries.
Shoot. The original caption was “Traffic jam at 75th & Metcalf”. It disappeared.
The storm hitting the lower 48’s was originated in the Bering sea. Today in Anchorage we hit 45. Beautiful weather here! The storm bypassed mainland Alaska.
I had to go pick up a car in Myrtle Beach one day when the weather closed in and brought about 4 inches of snow across the whole lowcountry. I remembered a trick from my father (who grew up in Kansas City) where, if you didn't have chains, you just deflated your tires down to 20psi and kept your speed to around 40-45. Other than the car getting a little squirrely on an offramp, I had no problems.
The real fun started when I got on to Hwy 17 coming into Myrtle Beach as the whole roadway was covered in black ice.
And I swear that every car in the ditches (and there were many) had New York plates.
13 to 21 for valleys of northern Nevada tonight and tomorrow night. A little warmer in the mountains...25.
