I just got back Sunday from a business trip to Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada where it was -12 C. Then, on my way home last night it starts snowing on the Sam Houston tollway!!

I'd rather be in Moose Jaw where the inhabitants don't start plowing into one another when a single flake hits the asphalt!

Fortunately, I'm prepared for this horrific weather. I put insulation on my Oklahoma Joe's Longhorn Deluxe smoker.

Snow tires (hehe).... We were passing through Jackson, MS just about an hour ago and the flakes are as big as silver dollars. Many cars off the Interstate (I55 just north of I20)...The elevaed portions close to downtown were quite dicey for many folks. Hope it gets better the closer to home...Starting to change from snow/sleet to just a peppery ice mix right now.

snow tires are NOT for sale in my world,
these folks cannot drive in the rain..
they closed the loop (circles SA.) this means NOTHING as folks just drive around them..

makes it much easier to find the car. If they see it online, and need those wheels, or that hood, it is a snap to track it down. I have little faith in the human animal

The only people in Louisiana who know how to drive in the snow talk kinda funny
