First, in WI, our vehicles look like that from Nov till April.
Second, windchill tempuratures don't count.
Finally, what's with the "c"entigrade tempuratures? Where do you people live?

There are a lot of forum members from north of the border.

It was -8F here this morning with no wind chill. I think most of the temps that have been posted aren't wind chill numbers.

A little ice and snow never hurt.




Just scrap that 4 inch thick snow off your truck and road and go...

This is making me sick, My truck is usually kept spotless. Moved from Atlanta Ga area to Boone Wv and weather has been horrible for several weeks cannot
Get out and even wash when water hose froze up. No garage yet !! Think I will move back down south LOL

Yeah come on back south. The little bit we got here in Atlanta shut the city down. People have been stranded and all. I'm from Ohio, so I knew when they said snow and ice was coming, I was going to stay in my house cause the south can't handle it and people can't drive. It's 50 something degrees today, so it is gone for the most part. Will be all gone tomorrow cause it suppose to be in the 60s.

Should have warned Georgians about opening this thread. Apparently just the sight of snow might make them fall out of their chairs and lay helpless on the floor for several hours.

Lord isn't that the truth. I'm in NC and we got a bit of the same storm in Raleigh. I drove in Tuesday and it is like people are not even aware that it is slippery. Tailgating, speeding. Good lord. And I'm a nc native and probably only driven in snow 15-20 times in my life. But it isn't that hard to just remember it is slick and maintain safe following distances...

The only thing funnier is going through Cary watching the smug new Jersey transplants in ditches after all the jokes about southerners driving in snow......
