my baby was covered in ice when i got off work

 

Try living in the Northeast, then you can complain about ice.

 

I have! Though you may get ice more often than we do in the south, when we get it here it's REALLY wicked ice. And to make matters worse (or better, depending on your POV,) the local DOT istotallyunprepared for such conditions... which is great for your car's steel body btw....

 

i was born in michigan. i can complain lol

 

We are still trying to recover from a little freezing rain storm from last week. Stupid idiots need to learn to drive around here

 

You lot are talking about ice in the South, but it's over 60 degrees in the Northeast today... [:-]

 

Broke a record yesterday at 73, still 62 right now, but the Temp is going down also.

 

I'll second that one... BIG TIME!!
But you know, it's not like when we learned to drive 30 yrs agoKen. I've been home to Pa several times over the past 15 yrs that I've lived here and they are just as stupid there now as I preceive the driversare here. No one cares anymore and they're oblivious to that fact that they could kill somebody... or themselves.
So, they're on their phones, texting, eating, playing w/the stereo, scratching their ***** (not the women, of course) or God only knows what else.

For the record, it topped out @ 82* here over the w/e, but has and is expected to drop some more before "winter" is officially over. Last week it was 25* for several days in a row.

 

Back in 78 when I got my Privilege to drive (drivers License to the rest of you not from Massachusetts), I showed up on my Appointment date at the said time given to me in a snowstorm, the guy from DMV looked at me and asked if I drove there, I said yes and he said to step over and get my picture taken LOL.
Around here they cancel school if it has snow in the forecast, in Mass we had school when there was 6 inches on the ground and it was still snowing.

 

Yup. Two different cultures and mindsets.
When I was still in HS in Pa, our long time (and locally raised)Principal retired and the SD hired a guy from Florida.I had never seen so many snow days used in a school year as that first year he was there.If it even hinted of a snow storm he'd close school early. Often we'd be on our way home and the snow "shower" would stop!!
We called them driver's permits in Pa. which you had to have for at least a month before you could apply for your junior, or "Cinderella"licence. This allowed you to drive solo, but not after 12 midnight or before 6AM, iirc, and was a probationary period. I checked w/the wife and she agrees. At 18 you were a full fledged driver w/all privileges.
