I'm glad you can't blame them...nothing is more obnoxious than people in northern states complaining about people in southern states not being prepared for the snow. OF COURSE THEY AREN'T PREPARED. THEY DON'T GET 150 GODDAM INCHES OF SNOW EVERY YEAR. STOP ACTING LIKE YOU'RE SOME KIND OF rough ridin' SNOW-BOUND SUPER STUD.

Post by: Dirty Sanchez on February 04, 2011, 12:39:01 PM: Do you even need to remove 1" of snow? Seems like it would get worked over by tires/melt within a day or two. That's what it does here. Even below freezing the sun will melt that little. And I can't imagine the ground is that terribly cold.

Sounds like Dallas has more than an inch...and media types there for the super bowl are bitching hardcore.

1/2 inch of snow = 6 car pile up

I know the southern states aren't used to it, but seriously this is pretty weak:

Post by: KSUTOMMY on February 04, 2011, 11:43:40 PM: Snow and ice when we woke up at 7am and roads were totally dry by noon, they have no equipment to deal with this stuff, cheaper to just pull the plug 1-2 times/yr than eff around with buying all the equipment. I saw no fewer than 12 cars in the ditch today on my way to Austin.
