I’m not staying home. There is work to be done. Guess I hope I’m not one of the idiots.

Driving home in heavy snow from Northfield a few minutes ago I couldn’t believe the number of idiots that didn’t have their lights on! I know that with the automatic lights people just don’t think of it, but I flashed my lights at at least 10 vehicles and none of them turned their lights on.

i was referring to all the people that will be at the bars and restraunts and other really “important” places

Apparently interstate 35 south near Fairbault was closed earlier due to a 5 car accident including a jack knife semi. I think that’s been cleared now.

1/2 inch so far here, west metro.

Got a text/call/email at noon from the school that they are going to let kids out 30min early.

So when you get 4/5 inches of snow you are just supposed to stay home Coletrain?
Yeah not me!!! Got bar hopping to do and pull tabs to win.

rochester schools cancelled the whole day at 530 am this morning. we got a whole half inch so far here

This wouldn’t be a big deal if people would look at their tires.
Most people don’t realize that an “all season” tire is one that is designed for road temperatures down to 40 degrees. Not snow, not ice.

I’m guilty as well, but I don’t go out until the roads are clear or I use my 4 wheel drive.

I challenge everyone to look at a parking lot with at least 10 cars.
I will bet you will find at least 2 cars with tires that don’t have legal tread.

The snow has to be at least 10 inches deep to bother me much but that happens when you have 4 wheel drive and snow tires. At just over 10 inches is when the snow gets to the crankshaft pulley and makes the serpentine belt slip causing the lights to dim

you need a blizzard to do that?

I’m in that same area Dave what a mess.

must have gotten 8 or so inches in Roch. i about died clearing my driveway and i got a snowblower

I feel for the people south that ‘Really got Weather’ Yesterday/last night.
We have it extremely easy compared to so many others.
Prayers to all involved in those Horrendous Tornadoes!!!

Sorry, just jumped on board and didn’t see the other post about the Southern storms.
Just saddening for sure.

Just deep enough where I am for a Wiener Dog’s…well…deep enough for a Wiener Dog.

I have driven on all season tires all my life and never had an issue. I dont get why so many people view them as a “need” – perhaps they just dont adjust their driving for the weather.

Sad and scary deal for sure. Tornadoes in December is definitely unusual but sucks so many died for sure.
