Minnesota, we're ready for it.Especially fund when it start snowing hard around 2pm and you are in the office until 6. Then the 20 mile white knuckle commute bumper to bumper on icy roads praying none of the morons in front of you hit the brake and cause a pile up
I got done once from one of these commute and my entire body hurt. I had been clenching every muscle in my body the whole way home.
Went straight to bed. Was just that exhausted by it.
Weak.
Our County trucks have wing plows on both sides.....
Exactly. Proves a point I’ve made many times. Northerners don’t drive in the snow. They’re set up to clear the roads immediately. They drive in freshly plowed and salted roads.
When they move to the south and it snows, they always be crashing, because there’s actual snow on the road.
And that picture is from June.
Wing plow on the lead truck and the two following trucks...
Pretty good, actually.
I lived in Minneapolis for a couple years. Yes, y’all are very good about clearing the highways up there. Side roads and residential streets not so much. I lived in a townhouse that had a little hill to get into the complex. Nobody told me a little rear wheel drive sports car with lots of power was the worst possible thing to have in snowy conditions. (I bought the car a few years before I moved up there anyway). I couldn’t get that car to go up that little snow covered hill to get into the neighborhood where I lived.....not even with a bit of a head start could I make it up that hill.
It got so cold, it flattened my tires.
You really didn’t want to go outside more than you absolutely had to.
I went to the Mall of America just to have a bigger space to walk around in - I didn’t even want to buy anything. I just HAD TO get out of the house eventually.
I suddenly understood why y’all are all alcoholics up there. I became one too after the first 3-4 months of Winter.
I got the hell out and moved back down South. Never again.
