Default Snowing in SE-USA

Well, just in case no one has been watching the weather across the country, it is snowing in Upstate South Carolina! Started around midnight and so far, 4 to 6 inches are reported. Another 4-6 inches is expected. Now for this part of the country, that's a snow event!! And this afternoon, it's suppose to turn to sleet followed by freezing rain into Tuesday AM. This evening & tomorrow morning are going to get real ugly.

Took Roberta to work this morning in the Jeep Wrangler. No issues as that vehicle is exactly suited for this kind of weather. Still amazes me to see folks out driving around like it was sunny & the roads clear. I never worry about me/us getting around. But The Other Guy scares the 'you know what' out of me!!

XFire is in the driveway, safe and covered. Probably will stay that way for awhile now.

My X-fire is safe and covered... IN 4" OF SNOW.

Not going anywhere today. And, just to let you know we're true enthusiasts, Steve and I were talking on the phone about brakes/calipers this morning at 6:15... now that's dedication.

Six inches so far over here in Spartanburg SC. Both SRTs are tucked in the garage at 55 degrees. Got a 4wd and an all wheel drive that will handle the snow, but like you Dennis it is the other guys that bother me. Many seem to have no concept of stopping distances in the white stuff. Travel safely if you are on the roads today!

Joanna - You & Allen stay put and stay safe up there in them mountains. I just got back with Roberta as the vet clinic closed at noon today. Finished up shoveling the driveway & walks a little while ago. At least that snow is out of the way if & when the sleet/freezing rain arrives.

Drinking cappucino and staying warm inside. Nothing to do this afternoon but 'roll around in the hay' with Roberta. Now if I only had some hay!!

At least the neighborhood kids are getting a thrill out of our snowfall.

I'm in N AL, and we've had a good snow fall. And now they say that this week (1/24-26) may get ugly with up over 9". Like we need more. It all depends on the Gulf Stream. And my Crossfire is my only car. I've already had 3 mishaps due to the ice/snow here - just tiny bumps on the back fender. But I want NO More!
