Shoveling snow in a kilt

[Mike n NC]

Woke up to over six inches of new snow on the ground. I can't wait to hear the tourists to start complaining about how they can't get anywhere because they don't have chains or four wheel drive

Rob Wright

you need 4wd and chains for 6 inches? in PA thats a dusting...

I don't I'm use to driving in the snow but the tourists start freaking out as soon as they see flakes in the air. This snowfall brings the on ground total to 18 inches. Some places have over 2.5 feet. Plus it was warm before it started to snow so there was a nice slick sheet of ice underneath the snow I had people trying to ride my bumper because they thought I wasn't driving fast enough only to start sliding when they tried to pass me.

Don't ya just love it! We have drivers from all over America and the world here at Camp Lejeune, some have never seen snow much less driven in it. We don't get much snow here but when we do...LOOK OUT!!
I particularly like the 4x4's, "yeah it's only a little snow, I can go on like it's nothing". Yeah right, something about stopping has to come in there somewhere.

And if they are driving a pickup it's even worse since most of your weight is in the front. This year hasn't been rough enough to require throwing some weight in the bed, yet.
There are two intersections that I avoid in winter because people forget that just because your wheels aren't moving doesn't mean your vehicle is stopped.
But my all time favorite is the yahoo who thinks that just because he has four wheel drive he can drive as fast as he wants and go anywhere he wants. Those guys keep the local wreckers busy

Like I told my boys about winter driving and ice. rear wheel drive, you go in the ditch backwards, front wheel drive you go in frontwards, 4 wheel drive you go in sideways. Regardless of how, you're going in.

That's the truth Bubba, toaday we got another 3 inches on the ground and the weather service is calling for another 5-8 inches over night. At least (I won't have to listen to people whine about not having a white christmas.
