I work with a guy from michigan that won't drive in snow down here, he says the X factor is the curvy roads going up and down hill

I'll second that.

Never had a problem driving in the snow when I lived in Ohio.

Down here its crazy because of the hills, curves and drop offs.

It it snows down hear it's going to be on a wet road that'll become ice.

Up there if there was a 3 foot embankment they put up a guardrail.

Here you need a 50 foot drop off before they even consider it.

 

A few years ago while at work it started snowing like crazy and I thought I'd be good because I have a 4X4.

I didnt make it, had to retreat back to work and stayed there.

They ended up shutting down the main roads and there were hundreds of vehicles left on the side of the road.

 

Another lesson the "locals" had to teach a northern boy

Heck even up here you see it all the time people with 4 wheel drive in the ditch or on their lid. It's not going to do anything on ice.

 

The other thing that always cracks me up, up here, yesterday we had our first accumulating snowfall this year. One county along the lake there were over 120 accidents/ slide offs due to the snow.... Just before noon! They only had a couple inches at that time. Every year up here everyone forgets how to drive in the snow. After the first snowfall or two people remember this white stuff is slick and the accidents subside until we get 5" or more at a time or it's so cold the salt and chemicals don't work anymore and in the ditch they go again. 

Welp...down in my area the call for snow is getting stronger.

 

Saturday is to start as rain, then mixed, then snow by later

in the PM.

 

Problem of it all, one of my boys has a soccer tourney in 

Richmond this weekend....

People get the 4x4 and think they are invincible, end up finding out the hard way they do not turn or stop well at all. Driven right they will get you thru it but not if you drive like an idiot.

 

Reports of some snow in downtown but I'm in west knoxville right now and it's still dry. Most accumulation is south of us, go figure

Coming down pretty good here right now - at least an inch or more an hour. 

Routine stuff for the 45th parallel. 

I'll put up a brief video in a bit for anyone not familiar with what that looks like.

As a side not - the 'Heavy snow' isn't actually 'expected until later tonight.

A white Christmas is a pretty good bet right about now . .

Yup - Best part about that whole deal is that Mr & Mrs Pawz Pack have a perfect excuse to go romp around in the snow like preschoolers  . . . . . . . .

My snow puppy isn't quite ready yet.

 

I lived through the 9' storm in Buffalo, NY a few years back.  No thanks.  I love the summers up here.  As soon as I can I will migrate like the birds.

We get lake effect snow here in western central Michigan but man you guys in Buffalo take the cake when it comes to lake effect! 

What do you do when you get 9 feet of snow you ask?

 

I did a quick Google search on 9' snow storm Buffalo, NY @Rick Howard mentioned and Wikipedia had good info including that there was a 25-30% increase in August births the next year! So you see you southern boys a ton of snow can be a good thing! ?

LOL I made no Children but.... I did cry a lot lol

84 degrees today in my part of the state. Forecast calls for a little cold front this weekend and then back to normal in a couple days.

started here a couple hours ago. supposed to snow all night and half the day tomorrow. 

Where I am ( Parry Sound, On.), our local snow making machine ( Georgian Bay), has been pounding us with squalls for three days now. Busses have been cancelled half the week and there been lots of shoveling and snowblowing. This is typical for December and January until the bay freezes over and stops pumping moisture into the air. And as a guy that loves to bass fish, IT IS NOT FUN! But I did get the skidoo out today so I guess I’ll make the best of it, won’t be long till I’m drilling holes in the lake for a trout or two.
