RE: Gulf Coast SnowGasm ? 1/28/14
No chains for me. I will be looking at more Ice than snow just like last week, except more this time. But just remember to slow the "F" down is you got to get on the road. I am a good winter driver, it is the other idiots I have to watch out for!!!!

So I hope everyone in the danger zone has made preparations to be stuck for a couple days with out electricity and blocked roads (kind of like we do for a Cane).

So how bad is it compared to last 5 years? https://theconservativetreehouse.com/ Nuts! "Two riders were approaching, the winds began to howl" |
