I grew up in Connecticut, and I really got sick of salt eating up my cars. I would never expose my car to salt when I was living in Georgia.
Since everything shuts down in the south over a flurry anyway, keep your car from rotting and just stock up on food, pick up some Duraflames if you have a fireplace, and stay home until everything melts at 2PM the next day.
Texan from NY says exactly
I’ll add that in the South, the ice tends to be the issue. New Yorkers don’t drive in ice. Don’t even walk in it. Salt schmalt. Stay in.
That’s why the DeLorien was stainless.
In South Tennessee here. We can have snow on the ground and be in the 60’s the next day. It never lasts long. My County only has one snowplow so it’s up to all of the farmers with front-end loaders on their tractors to clear the road, if needed. It’s up to the farmers with tractors that don’t have front-end loaders to pull the other farmers and tractors out of the ditch.
Actually, they try to discourage us from driving in it at all. If it’s really bad, they forbid us to be on the road, for as much as they can get away with it.
I grew up in S. Florida and have lived the last 50 years of my life in S. TN so I don’t even try.
Oh, and buy up all the bread and milk.
I moved to Ft Worth from Cal in 90. One day it was like 10 degrees, in Jan. I commented to my neighbor I did not know it got that cold in that part of Texas. He looked at me and said: boy don’t you know there are only two fence posts between here and Canada.
Beryl is long ago gone but I never forgot that comment!
I can see you’ve been through an Atlanta snow storm! LOL
Can’t say for sure but expect that’s what we would do here in Florida.
We got two feet in Texas and sure enough. Everything was shut down.
