Tough day Atlanta?

[blazinxpk]

Lately it feels like California isn't even in the same country. If that type weather ever happens in the metro areas here people will probably drive into the ocean.

The coldest it has gotten in San Jose this winter is into the 20s and that is overnight temperature.

Stay safe folks.

I want to sit in the back of that, little green machine.

It's got troop seating in the back, i've had 10 friendly people in it at once.

I don't know why but I just want to hug that truck.

Maybe the result of all these natural "disasters" is people will take preparedness more seriously and not rely on the system or infrastructure to such a high degree.

YES

We should come on here in July and talk about how it's 120 degrees outside and how many people have broken down on the side of the road due to failing cooling systems. About how many people have died from heat stroke and how many kids have drowned in their backyard pools. How we were all caught off guard because it's never like this in the summer in the middle of the fucking desert.

With that said, I'm sorry for the people in the south east US that are having a rough time with all of this. Maybe the result of all these natural "disasters" is people will take preparedness more seriously and not rely on the system or infrastructure to such a high degree.

thank you. You and I see on the same level

If anything were to actually serious happen in Arizona, I am sure I wouldn't be spending time on R3V, defending against how bad it is.

called an ice storm dude. happens all the time.

except in the north when it happens, its RAIN, then followed by a freezing period, in which the water that has fallen now freezes. the stuff coming down is freezing on contact. Right after that you get a bit of snow on top. in the one storm.

Major difference is it stays here for up to a few months. this year it seems like 6 months.
Hamilton and Toronto are saying they will still be cleaning up from Decembers ice storm well into april.

Yes, but it HAPPENS EVERY FUCKING YEAR. This does not happen every year in Altanta. Are you all too thick to understand this?

I had fun driving around this morning, not quite enough snow on the roads but it basically wasn't icy. Only saw 2 cars left on the roads i was on.

One thing about atlanta, hardly anyone that lives here is from here. I grew up in northern VA for instance. I can drive in snow well enough to know that a lot of folks living here do NOT know how to drive in it. It does not take very many non capable drivers to put a halt to forward proceedings on the roadway no matter what state you live in or what form of water is on the ground. Add to that most vehicles here are never set up for winter travel with summer tires, etc.

I choose to snow drive here when i am fairly sure no one else is out for my own safety and pleasure.

Wasn't worth it... seeing myself out.

[Mr. Tasty]

Like this?

[matthugie]

this thread is the epitome of what r3v has become

Over what time period?

[Mr. Tasty]

It's also interesting to see all the hubris that comes from folks who were not directly impacted by them.

This is R3v, what do you expect. If anything were to actually serious happen in Arizona, I am sure I wouldn't be spending time on R3V, defending against how bad it is.

[Mr. Tasty]

It is always interesting to see how people react during these kinds of emergencies.
