I'm about over it- well over 15" in the past 3 days. 9" last 24 hours and it hasn't stopped snowing today at my house (Grand Rapids, MI area). Now it's going to get cold (0 is the high tomorrow)

I'm on snow day duty again - my wife couldn't get the van out of the neighborhood this morning or back up the inclines in either direction to get home, it's "parked" about a block down in front of the neighbors - our side roads haven't been touched by a plow yet. Only 1 4WD is killing us for the first time here.

Ha!! The store shelves have been empty since Tuesday evening here. People are nuts. I drove by an Ace Hardware today and they had a police officer in the parking lot directing traffic.

Warwick is a good district from what I remember, yes?

I live in Frackville and work at our Vo Tech here in town 6 blocks away so that’s a plus.

Yes, one of the best districts in the county. I've never been to Frackville, but I love all of the history of the small towns up in coal country.

We honestly don’t have much to visit in town here, except the Black Diamond (wings). But I do encourage people to come up, go to Pottsville and get a tour of Yuengling.

Traction control on mountains Is the worst. The car companies set those that know nothing about driving up for failure. It's only good for rain and hydroplaning
Good lick over there with the snow

Agree. Traction control is garbage in the snow. It still blows my mind that there is such thing as a rear wheel drive truck with no 4x4 option.

If you drive a vehicle with rear wheel drive in a snowy climate you're just not that bright.

MY one complaint about my Toyota Rav4 is no 4WD.

Driving in the snow is the most common sense endeavor that northerners get way more credit for than they should.

If you’re from the south, and you’ve never driven in snow before, and you can’t figure it out this weekend? I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but…
