I worked for a company in Nashville that was just acquired by new management out of Denver. They laughed when we started closing early because of the potential of snow.
They weren’t laughing the next morning. They thought they could drive in snow. Add a bunch of hills and a layer of ice, and they figured out they weren’t as smart as they thought they were.
I live in Minnesota, and we always have problems the first snowfall of the year. People talk, around here, about how fast people forget how to drive on snow, but the truth is that the first snowfall on unfrozen roads is different.
I grew up in ice storm country and I know how bad they are. We hardly ever get them in Denver and people here don’t know how to deal with them.
me, too. Lived outside Chicago and in Vt, from eastern Pa and love driving in the snow. This is ice. It is still ice. Not as bad as the 6 inches of ice on the back streets of Springfield MO when I first moved there though. It was like driving a trolly down the tracks. Pretty weird. The nice part of it? The wonderful silence of no traffic. Saw snowbirds today too. Missed them.
