Well Alf, your little storm bought me a day off today.  Just called the shop at 6:00 am and the owner told me to stay home and make snow angels....

This doesn't happen very often up here.  We're expecting somewhere north of 20"....it's not snowing at my house at the moment though.  We might get a foot or so near the RI border...

The streets are still iced over.  That's ice folks, not snow.   You don't go up/down a 30 degree hills with ice I don't care if you're the grandson of Admiral Perry.

So schools are closed again today and probably tomorrow.

Being stuck in the house isn't all that bad.   I just miss my girlfriends.

Continued luck with your inclement weather Alf.

One thing that always amazes me in these weather issues.  Folks with 4WD or AWD can go forward better because of the drive system, they don't realize that they don't really stop better.  In fact, the heavier vehicle will most definitely be HARDER to stop at speed in slippery conditions.

Most vehicles I see on the highways that have lost control and ended up in the ditch or in the woods are SUV's and AWD vehicles.

I've never owned one, someday maybe but it's not a priority.  I've never been stuck or in the ditch in my life with my cars, be they rear or front wheel drive.  I've come close and had some close calls but so far, so good.

Something to think about that I doubt most sheep consider....4WD and AWD are wonderful things. WHEN USED PROPERLY. While they will most certainly get you around in inclimate weather, you must realize that now you have 4 wheels spinning out of control instead of just 2.

Rule of thumb, put it in 4WD, but drive like you didn't.

Bulls eye JC.....I wonder how many yuppies actually read their manuals.

My Ford truck (2WD) is pretty clear on road hazards, extra stopping distances, "bump steer" etc....Hell, even MY wife knows better.
