There is a 40% chance of 1" to 3" of snow in Alabama this weekend....
I bet the supermarkets are gearing up for snowpocalipse 2017 now!
Only thing I see that sucks is the 19 degree temp. I like cold weather but not below freezing.

The only way to react to this is... "Awwww, how cute..."

Funny but the truth is watching people that moved from the north get out and drive on roads that have not been treated.... Here in GA we get ice. Don't care where your from its a struggle. My suggestion is just stay off the road unless you live off a major highway that gets treated from the start.
We get shit for this I know but I'll take a day or two off from work each winter to play in 2-4" of snow than having to deal with the stuff all winter. So yes it's cute as hell!
Not funny but pathetic
I live in Virginia, but you have to drive thru a portion on North Carolina to get to my house.
Virginia has plows and a plowing budget, the bordering NC town does not. So when it snows the plows from Virginia raise their plows and drive the 4+ miles of NC roads to get to our block. They drop the plows 300' from my driveway (state line) Plow to the end of our street then turn around and go home the same way.
Then all the locals have to get out their tractors and clean as much of the road as possible so we can get out.
Stop Laughing!
Happy New Year from your Friends in Ct to you

70 degrees here and a light rain. Great day for a recall ride, but just a little wet earlier.
I have driven in deep snow before in Kansas and you can get traction. Here in Alabama we usually get ice pellets. The ground kinda looks like snow but the truth is its just a solid sheet of whitish ice hell. You can't drive on the stuff. Nothing helps except chains. And that is just to break the crust and get a little bite. I know we catch shit over the school canceling and the supermarket wipeouts. But the truth is its near impossible to drive on solid ICE..
The only way something like a 4x4 helps is we can put our right two or left two tires off the edge of the road and you can crunch through to the ground and get some traction.
@MACAWS My parents moved to VA. Said when there's a snow flake they basically shut down, ask people to stay home, cancel schools etc. My old man said it's crazy!
As long as you have bread and milk you never have to leave the house cuz you won't find it anywhere,
But we can go out back and bag a dear if we need one.
@rabtech see you got that shiny new Raptor and now the weather gods wanna mess it up!!
Well, at least he will find out how good the traction control will work
I meant the snow debacle... But yeah, what's the latest with those Dam otters?
I'd love to see pictures of that @MACAWS
You got it brother - if we get snow you get pictures. Right now it is and has been just raining good for my pond, but the beginning of cabin fever.
Thankfully the otters have moved on.
Had a bear wander thru here a few weeks back though.

That's about true, down here in the SE corner. Having grown up in ME, I get kind of a sad kick out of the idiocy that plays out when snow arrives.
@sideseatdriver was up in Northern VA / DC area several years back when they had two back-to-back major snowstorms in 2009-2010 (called Snowpocalypse and Snowmageddon - yes, seriously). She said some of the shenanigans that went on that winter were ridiculous.

Tastes like chicken!

My standard answer to that is if it taste like chicken why not just have chicken?
