    Nope!

    OMG I could google image search that but I won't.

    This! ATV really needs more channels.

    That would be amazing!

    Try reading. It's fun!

    Smart comment. I didn't even consider that.

    I'm trying to figure out your point. The forecast was wrong, telling people it was safe to drive. Otherwise everything shuts down. I was appealing to your common sense but it appears you just want to feel better about yourself. Dismissed.

    I think you missed the point. Normally everything closes. The morning forecast was wrong. They said it was safe to drive. Why does this matter so much to you?

    Whoa, calm down. Expressing yourself can be difficult, I understand.

    But it's not like the north where the snow sticks and stays frozen. It "snows" when we're literally hovering around the freeze point. The actual snow is different. I've seen it and felt it myself. It's not the same experience driving in 10 degrees as it is at 33 degrees.

    I'm fully-stocked and work from home. I'm not going anywhere.

    You should make a PSA. But you only addressed the smaller detail. What about the impossibly slick oil/ice sheet coating the roads and a million other inexperienced drivers sharing said roads? The problem was/is the weather is much more unpredictable here and accuracy is key in what shuts down and when. If they had…

    What makes this worse is it's supposed to happen again!

    Like I've mentioned and the article itself, people woke up to go to work, checked the weather, everything was good, went out to start their day. Then the weather changed.

    As unbelievable as it sounds to a person from the north, this doesn't happen once a year. Or even once in five years. In the article, the author mentioned it hadn't snowed "in 21 of the last 30 years."
    To avoid this, we simply stay home. However the forecast in the morning commute was wrong so everything was business…

    You sound like you are just full of common sense.

    The snow sticks and stays frozen. In Texas, it melts immediately and refreshes into a nice sheet. It's a different scenario altogether.
