I live at an apartment complex where snow removal never happens. There is snow and ice everywhere, every day. I have enjoyed the snaps of the ice storm from those folks who don't usually run across that weather but this is all I think of when it comes to the reactions I'm seeing.
Exactly. I don't live in the South to deal with this bullshit.
Finally a Yankee that doesn't turn into a smug prick when we complain about snow and ice (it's almost all ice this time). I knew I liked you for a reason.
Get a fucking snow shovel hippie.
I am not breaking up and clearing the ice off my entire hill and next street with a snow shovel.

I know in Texas they put sand down instead of salt when it snows. It is baffling to me. I'm curious, what does TN do for the snow?
Usually liquid brine. They use salt as well though. I live out in the boons, so my area is pretty low priority. The hill is steep enough to where trying it in a front wheel drive sedan would probably be bad. As expected, the sun being out today let it melt just enough to where it's nice smooth ice now and anything that melted just collected at the bottom of the hill and refroze.
Did recon on the hill to ascertain the likelihood of me going to work tomorrow. Ate it hard on the way down. Had three near falls on the way up. The bottom third of my hill is a solid sheet of ice. The road mine turns onto is pretty nicely packed ice and snow that has been untouched by the loving hands of a plow. Looks like my unplanned vacation continues.
Yea, seeing one of the photos on facebook reminded me that you guys have to deal with hills and windy roads a lot more than I do. It's easy to say "It's just a little icy....drive slow" when you are on roads that are mostly just flat/straight. That hilly business doesn't look safe.
ice is so much worse than snow or even cold temperatures - it's so dangerous. and even if it warms up enough to melt, you still run the risk of it re-freezing over night when the temperature drops.
stay safe, dudes!

we had this issue last year - it kept going from freezing to above freezing and because there was soooo much snow on the ground it would all start to melt, and then completely freeze over night. it was so awful. and then it would get slushy on top of the thick layer of ice, so you really had no control over your car. and it was too cold for the salt to work, so they didn't even salt the roads. it was baaadddd.
and I know how hilly and wind-y knoxville is, so driving in that would be miserable.
It's fun when you step on what looks like snow but is actually compacted ice that has no give, so you take a normal step expecting to sink in but instead you just slip and bust your ass.

It's called salt ya big baby!!!
Please see the previous posts from smellycat and I and go to hell with your salt posts.

This describes my walk outside pretty accurate today.
I can't think of anyone else's winter troubles when I have to either walk or take the bus back and forth to and from work with a -23 wind chill over the next ~36 hours. Pants, sweatpants, two pairs of socks, hat, two pairs of gloves, t-shirt, long-sleeve shirt, hoodie, coat, hat, boots. Come at me, winter. You ruthless cunt.
If I have learned one thing in my first month of graduate school it is that I will not be pursing a PhD.
It's a good thing to realistically evaluate your life goals, plans, and prospects before beginning g your PhD. Much better to do in the first month, and not your 4th year....
I listen to the regular radio so infrequently - I just noticed one of my preset stations changed over to a Christian station. According to Wikipedia, it happened six months ago.
There's also more country stations than I remembered. Is country really getting that popular?
