just because i drive a semi on snow covered roads my best guess would be the person in the challenger was probably running 5mph and caused the semis to brake unexpectedly and they wrecked. unless its ice a semi drives pretty damned good on snow covered roads especially if that was actually the northeast. they have great snow. ask fmx how slick that much snow on a south carolina road is.

btw that old schneider truck is throwing a mean rooster tail lmfao


Everything shuts down here. We rarely get snow, but when we do it usually falls on top of rain that froze and then it will all melt, but just barely. Then it refreezes and we are fucked. No one here has winter tires and the only people with experience driving in winter weather are retirees. The average and below average drivers out themselves really quickly. The ice storm last year they nicknamed icepocalypse. There were tree crews from all over the country cutting broken/bent trees from around roadways from february to june. They were all paid with federal disaster relief money.

I've only driven in "normal" snow once. It was cake.

Supposed to get to -40 here tonight.

Reminds me of Jack London's "To Build A Fire"

"Spittle freezes before it hits the ground at -50"

Fuck that. I was at work last night and unfortunately ended up outside most of the night. It was 24F with 20mph winds. I was miserable. I can't imagine...

It's still 2 degrees. So we haven't started to plummet yet. The plus side of this type of weather? Your room temp beers are cold in literally 1:30 seconds to 2 minutes being outside in some powder.

The small victories help you cope...in any way you can. :lol:

What the fuck?
-40 ?

That's ridiculous.... and i've been bitching about the 10-20 degree weather here.
I hate the fucking cold


I'm just thankful we haven't gotten more than an inch of snow so far, my car is a mess in the snow, even small amounts.
I honestly don't know how ride is doing it in his vette, i have enough problems and his car is quite a bit lighter and puts down more power.
