Whoa, you got rain down there? Must be a lucky day. I use to joke when I lived down there that the forecast always predicted rain and the rain never came where up here, forecast always predicted sun but no sun. I remember the smell of the air hours before it rained... you always knew that rain was on its way. Loved that smell.

Jaye, you have to "embrace" the snow! Lmao! Really, snow is fun. When I lived in TX, the winters were 40-50° and rainy. You still had to wear coats, hat, boots because it was cold, brrr. What can you do in cold rain? At least you can play in snow!

You know what's funny.. I'm originally from Montana.. we drive 50-60 MPH on icy highways and don't get I to wrecks.. because we grew up with it... there are some that wipe out... but

Down here in Port Arthur and Beaumont, it rains just a little, and people wipe out and kill themselves. . Skid into under passes...

Or when it rains heavily... they'll wipe out and take 6 or more people with em..

Yes part of it is the drivers... but ya wanna know the big difference... its how we keep our vehicles up, in Montana.. you don't want to risk breaking down in subzero weather... and you can't drive on snow and ice with bald tires...(actually you can and it's fun as hell) but most can't..

People down here drive hoopties... they buy a car, even if its new, and drive it until something breaks. Then depending on cost, they either have it fixed or but another cheap car, or a new one...

They don't realize that you're supposed to keep up a vehicle for a reason.. its not the lack of money... its knowledge or lack there of. For some.. yeah it could be money.. but I was dirt poor once.. and I'm dang proud of it...but my life and the lives of people around me... were important enough for me to learn what needed to be done..and make sure it got done...

Sorry... off my soapbox... but that's something I needed to get off my chest. :thumbup:

Inland Empire Cali., worse drivers ever.

Up here, use to be that people knew how to drive in the snow but now they're horrible. And they think they can go 100 mph in their SUV's... on ice. Might work for deep snow but not so well for ice. Funny, but you see more SUV's cracked up in accidents in the winter than cars. I have never owned 4 wheel drive and never had to use snow tires (except for my maxima... that thing could not handle snow) and I have never had problems driving in snow... can make it up steep hills in feet of snow when everyone else is stuck on the side. You just got to know the conditions and how to drive in it.

I grew up in Pennsylvania where it snowed a lot. Now I live in Virginia Beach where it snows once or twice a year and the idiots fall into two categories. Drive how Tis described or slow down to 5 mph and stop everywhere. Aaaaaahhh! ! *Rips hair out he when he cannot afford to. Tries to put it back!*

You know I am pretty sure Lloyd, Sparky and I were roughly at the same post level when I started hanging and the various threads (banned, last post wins, and here). The two are putting in a lot of overtime! Congrats Sparky on making Ninja! Early Ninja congrats to Lloyd cause he will rank up before I log on next!
