the north country isn't for the faint at heart

Yeah,  that totally looks like global warming to me!   

Very cool picture!  Thanks for sharing it.

It went from 52 to 32 in 4 hours here in St. Louis with an all out blizzard this morning.  Ground was too warm to have it stick but the unique chemical composition of the snowflakes native to this area dramatically affect the way the synapsis fire in the average brain of the drivers - also native to this area - reducing them to unfortunate total idiotic morons.

Believe it or not same thing happens up here in the Chicago area. Happens ever year, it snows and some people drive like they have never driven in snow. OTOH, some goofs drive like there's no snow on the ground, just as dangerous.              

We got ~12" but not the heavy wet stuff thankfully. Goin down to  ~ 9 degrees ~  tonight.

Wow, we have the normal snow track for the midwest, up from MO, into Il, and on to Mi - and the driver comments follow the snow

Unseasonably warm here in the mountains so far this year
Did not even have our first dip into the lower 30's until a couple days ago

Nothing unique in your snow or your drivers.

Only difference DownEast is that some drivers' snow synapses give-out after the first few snows, and they drive sanely. But there is ALWAYS some moron kid in a Jeep passing cars in the slick at 70 in a 35 zone before he kills a tree (and himself and a Jeep, no loss).

I stay off the roads. I learned to get around pretty good in some very unlikely cars, but I can NOT handle the idiot drivers. I'm even afraid to get my mail. (Some nice older woman swerved to avoid a phantom snow-deer, CREAMED our mailbox and buried herself in the ditch.)

Me, I keep to the back-roads til march, the same synapsis failure that make idiot drivers also precludes them from basic navigation, so they stick to the *main* roads

I think this is the point where I write that it's been in the 80s here every day for the last week.

Where is here?

Har! down here in Louisiana if it snows 1" everything shuts down, schools are closed. Not so much for hazardous driving conditions but because snow is so rare, everybody wants to stay home and play in it

[shooter]

everybody wants to stay home and play in it

I was passing through Georgia, stopped to *bag* the high-point and found like 30 kids sledding on the road leading up, there was maybe 2" so I parked the jeep, walked up the road, found a dad and asked if this was a normal sledding site, he replied, none of these kids ever seen snow!  I just shook  my head smiling 

[Willabe]

    Good for them. 

[kagliostro]

I think I have shown this, however, talking about global warming, here you can see that is a real fact
