Tough day Atlanta?

Somewhere between Blue Mountain Lake and Tupper Lake - middle of the Adirondacks.

Like I said 160 miles of pure ice... You must be an awesome driver...

Give it a day. Then read the news. Once again, people up north have no clue what a winter in the south is like until they experience it. We can drive in the snow. It's things like this that we deal with when it decided to get cold and storm .

But whatever I am sure he was driving on a sheet of ice for 160 miles......

Where is this?

look under the picture:

"In a 1984 BMW 528e, with cheap all-season tires, and no cell service. 160 miles each way through the heart of the Adirondacks."

I had fun doing donuts in the f350 while everyone was locked inside

Because 2" of snow is the same as a hurricane? That's stupid. One makes you drive at or below the speed limit, one causes $68B in damages.

I feel sorry for the folks in GA. Not because they're shitty drivers in the snow, but because their municipalities let them down. Didn't they learn their lesson yet?




There is definitely a misconception that as New Yorkers we get the benefit of clear roads in the winter "because the plows are out early". Sure, maybe in the cities or highways, but not for the people in rural areas.

I'm gonna sound like a grandpa talking about walking uphill both ways to school, but this was my commute to school:

I thought it was a repeat of old news, when I saw this... Lost. For. Words.

^ This.

Let's see how the north deals with something that happens with no more frequency than every 20 years or so, like a hurricane. Oh, wait...

I must admit, my brother in law and I did the same last night. We demolished a cooler of throwback cans. And by cooler I mean his back patio.

I WISH, we could do that again, damn things would freeze, woke up this morning and it was almost ZERO AMERICAN. wich is -20 canadian.

Even in this freezing temps. the 24 hour challenge is going on right now, where you thank your nominater, nominate three other people, chug a beer and then do something outside with the snow or ice in your underwear.

Again ? Really ?

Go home georgia, you're drunk.


Was just out in the old scout driving around having a big time. It's like a ghost town here, tonight/tomorrow should be interesting.

Can we at least all agree that this is funny?

Two inches of snow shuts down major metropolitan areas (not just Atlanta). It's funny! It's funny because when it snows two inches where you live, it's nothing, you might as well be in West Palm Beach. Southerners lose their shit, though! Hilarious.

It's fine if that's how you want to process what happened yesterday and today. But if you do, you are wrong, and you are an asshole.

holy fuck that semi video was damn funny. Good thing noone was hurt.

Boy, what an asshole that OP is :-)
When I watched the weather tuesday up here they said that atlanta area was going to be hit hard with ice? This morning when I watched the weather up here Al and the weather channel guy both said atlanta had advanced warning and they chose to ignore it.
Also for those that say Maine never gets ice so we don't know what it's like, google ice storm of 98. Hell, just 2 weeks ago we had 1/2 inch of ice, didn't see a single traffic jam on the news.
