Reminds me why I don't drive when it snows here. My brother hated winter driving in Virginia because the other drivers were scary in snow. In the Cary, NC the people who get stuck in the winter weather are the overconfident northerners. Three issues: 1) We have some serious hills. This especially bothers New York City/Jersey expats for some reason. 2) When it snows, the ground is almost always above freezing, and we usually have rain before snow. The base becomes ice as the temperature drops if the water isn't moving; in newer cities with marginal drainage this means thick ice in random places. When it starts cold and there is snow it is normal (versus Pennsylvania at least) and relatively easy to navigate, but that is very rare here in the center of the state. 3) A southern snow plow comes individually wrapped (I think you northerners call it a shovel, but for some reason I never saw the point). Salt is something that we use on our food, and anyway our trucks are built to not drop stuff everywhere. Thus, real southerners utilize technology to do their work from home, while their Boston-hailing bosses wait for the tow truck in the cold. (BTDT...) In the last real snow storm there were many stories of folks getting half way up a hill and then sliding back into a pile of cars and SUVs. No doubt there are some good YouTubes of it. Cary being Cary remember that half the people are from north of the Mason-Dixon and the other half are from India. Moral of the story, physics don' care who you is.

Re: [MBZ] drive safe this winter
The Northeast has plenty of hills, but for some reason, some locales don't drive well on them. Every time there is a up hill on I-495 around Boston, people slow down. I don't know if they're stupid or worried there little shitty cars will downshift to maintain speed. I can see a slowing down at high altitude, because so much of the engine's power is lost to altitude and it can be 2 gear downshift (i.e. running near redline) but high altitude doesn't exit in Massachusetts.

The new cars come with tracking devices in the computer system. Insurance fellow comes out to see your car and plugs his laptop in. Downloads all sorts of data they then use to argue you are at fault so as not to pay up. The camera is a nice addition to refute or at least have something to post on the youtubes clay On Nov 3, 2012, at 8:46 PM, G Mann wrote: I've been looking at them and find several that have both front and rear facing cameras, both with GPS . speed information, time date stamp, etc recorded to a hard drive with hours of time available.

In the Cary, NC the people who get stuck in the winter weather are the overconfident northerners. Three issues: 1) We have some serious hills. This especially bothers New York City/Jersey expats for some reason. 2) When it snows, the ground is almost always above freezing, and we usually have rain before snow. The base becomes ice as the temperature drops if the water isn't moving; in newer cities with marginal drainage this means thick ice in random places. When it starts cold and there is snow it is normal (versus Pennsylvania at least) and relatively easy to navigate, but that is very rare here in the center of the state. 3) A southern snow plow comes individually wrapped (I think you northerners call it a shovel, but for some reason I never saw the point). Salt is something that we use on our food, and anyway our trucks are built to not drop stuff everywhere. Thus, real southerners utilize technology to do their work from home, while their Boston-hailing bosses wait for the tow truck in the cold. (BTDT...) In the last real snow storm there were many stories of folks getting half way up a hill and then sliding back into a pile of cars and SUVs. No doubt there are some good YouTubes of it.

Re: [MBZ] drive safe this winter
Well, I really don't think it's fair to compare northern Wisconsin drivers to someone from the NYC/New Jersey area. They would also terrify me in the snow! Upstate New York, yes, fair comparison, but not The City. My wife is from The City, I can barely ride with her in dry and sunny weather. During our last winter visit to Wisconsin, we started a day trip to Copper Falls during a minor snow fall, after about thirty minutes my wife was so freaked out about driving in the country on slightly snowy roads that we turned back. Now she laughs about it, I think it was the combination of snow and isolated country that spooked her. I do agree with your point about ice under the snow, that is a wicked combo, fortunately rare in Wisconsin. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '95 E300 '87 300TD Tim C bb...@crone.us wrote: On Nov 2, 2012 5:33 PM, Mitch Haley mlh m...@voyager.net@m...@voyager.net voyager.net m...@voyager.net wrote: Max Dillon wrote: Yes, that's quite sobering.

Re: [MBZ] drive safe this winter
Upstate NY usually gets freezing rain then anywhere from inches to feet of snow on top of it. I have driven in all seasons on and off road in both NC and NY. Winter driving in NY is best described to Southern folk like this..See that there greasy red clay hill all littered with rocks? Make it bigger with a few less rocks and then cover it all up with a foot or two of snow.
