Snow Squall Sally’s built for speed and got everything Uncle John needs.

I was working in Nashua, New Hampshire and got the same two alerts. It really was a big deal for me. The roads were horrendous! I drove home at 20 miles per hour the whole way because I did not buy snow tires for my new car this year. I don’t have the money for them. I made the decision to drive my husband’s car with snow tires on it if snow was in the forecast. There were times tonight when I had zero visibility with the snow blowing around and I also slid a bit even though I was only going 20 miles per hour. Snow doesn’t usually bother me if I have snow tires, but tonight was not fun. I was thankful for the alert because it prepared me for what I was about to deal with. And it also gave me the option to stay put for a while.

Ice can form on the windshield of your car, too. If it isn’t gone by spring you’re gonna need a new car.

I’m from Detroit and now live in Maryland. The utter and completely paralyzing fear of the thing we call weather is just pathetic.

The overall national reaction to the Polar Vortex cold snap has been surprising. During my 12.5 years in Milwaukee we'd have one or two -20 Fahrenheit days. Indeed, when I was a member of the Milwaukee Nordic Skiing Club, we'd often head to northern Wisconsin or the Michigan UP on a night when it was -8 and go into -20 weather. A really perfect skiing day was a crystal clear sunny day at 10 deg. F.

As long as you have a fat dog around you won’t go hungry.

Hot corn, cold corn, bring along a demijohn...

(Now that song will be in my head all evening.)

[Viking2002]

He’s got it all wrong. Ample beer, kettle corn, and Vienna sausages, and you’ll be fine ‘til spring. Throw in some brown-n-serve rolls and chicken salad, and it’s a party.

OMG...praying for squall of you!

“Snow squall Sally”. Would make a great song title. Eric Clapton would probably sue the artist’s arse off but it would be a great song.

[9YearLurker]

Yes, fortunately sheltered here with the Internet...
