Southern Winter Weather (be aware!)

Yeah I know, I've lived in New York (upstate) and for anyone to take any snowfall seriously it needed to be at least 18 inches. But I have also lived in Georgia and I know that the counties there do not own plows nor do the locals have plows to attach to their trucks. So normally what happens is that they have to call a northern state (usually Pennsylvania or New York) to send plows down to help out...but that is only if the snow doesn't melt first, which it normally does. The crazy thing this year is that it has just stayed so bloody cold, so the snow isn't melting as fast and there are lots of accidents because people are not used to it.

Its just all screwy

That happened here in Northern Virginia in 2011. It was a perfect storm. All businesses and the government shut down two hours early and as traffic ground to a halt with every one on the road at once we had 3 inches of snow fall in an hour (plus continual snowfall through the night) Plows could not plow and thus cars were left abandoned all through the evening.

I was out in that and saw the writing on the wall, was lucky enough to be near a parking garage. Just pulled in and called it a night. (I have a two days worth of rations, a book, and a sleeping bag in my car at all times) So while everyone else was getting into accidents I left my car in the garage, chilled in the local stores that were still open and hug out with a police officer that was pushing cars up a hill and directing traffic. Pretty cool night.

To anyone who experiences snow annually yes it is.
