And white knuckled drivers everywhere. To those of you who live in areas with a lot of snow, you'd be amazed at the scene here every time we get a serious snow with ice on the roads.

People here don't know how to drive snow and with the first snowflake something in their brain switches off and they become crazed manics.

My personal favorite is on hills. There will be a long line and the first guy goes up and when he starts to spin
his back tires he floors it
hereby losing all traction and spins into the ditch. Then the other guy waiting patiently follows him
and does the exact same thing.
And you can see the bake lights blaring as the wheels spin.......

It was crazy last night with hours of backups with no one moving at all.

Seattle is a great town but the people here can't drive for sh*t.......

It's the same thing down here in Texas. A little ice and snow and you can make some good cash with your Jeep or truck pulling idiots out of the ditch.

Great fun is to watch them stomp on the brakes as soon as they break traction .... and go spinning off the side off the road. My oilfield experience made me pretty much a professional drive in all kinds of weather. It is really not that hard. Just have to be calm and follow a few simple rules.

Yesterday in Minnesota the roads were solid ice. over 485 accidents in the Twin Cities...city slickers

It's the same in Cincinnati. They just lose their minds and it's like they don't see it EVERY YEAR

personally the only thing I enjoy more than driving in snow is driving in mud.

Do it in the dirt


"I'd trade the best woman I ever had for a good race car... but I wouldn't wanna do anybody that way"

I love to drive in the snow. It's very entertaining!

We get snow here every year, but you'd think this was Jamaica or something, the way ppl handle it! They slow way down toward the bottom of the hill, then get stuck as they try to make it up the next one...they stomp their brakes, or worse yet, pump their ABS...they tailgate...

Yep. Lotsa fun every winter!

SNOW before Thanksgiving? And there's blizzard warnings for Utah. Wait a minute, what happened to global warming? Maybe this proves it, it's warm SOMEWHERE ELSE...

Didn't you hear? It's global cooling that's gonna kill us all now. But don't worry, Gore still makes money selling this crap, so the balance is the same.

Maybe it's that ICE AGE the environmental scientist were telling us we were all going to die from back in 79.

You live long enough and pay attention you soon figure out they don't have a freaking clue what they are doing.

Funny you mention ice age, I read a report a few years ago from a respected scientist (can't remember his name though) that he fully expects that there's going to be a very cold stretch of years starting in 2012. Wait a minute.. isn't that when the Earth ends (Dec.21, 2012?) like when the Mayan calendar ends? Fu*k the Mayans...

Some cold dander falling here this morning ... oddly enough.

I was a ski instructor since I was 15 years old and I loved to do donuts in the ski area parking lot. Screwing around like that really teaches you how to drive in the snow....which direction to turn and how not to brake...

I love the snow.....

But the people here are really batty when it comes to driving in it.....
