Snow stops traffic, downpours don't. I could barely get home tonight. I'd MUCH rather 33 degree downpours than 8 degree blizzards.

Well, when it drops to below freezing at night from a down pour all day, I can assure you traffic will not be "nice" tommorrow morning.

Just because I'm currently living in GA, does not mean I've never seen snow. I'm actually wearing a sweatshirt right now that says "Minnesota State" on it. Think about it ;)

I'm suppose to wake up to something called Black Ice. thats bad. You cant see that $hit and I hate it. I dunno i like the rain better over snow at least you can get out and not get trapped by snow. But I dont like this flooding rain system.

I spent nearly 15bucks in gas today for 9gallons. :angryfireI dont want snow lol anything but snow again. Non flooding rain is fine but geez.....

Oh btw downpours do too stop traffic if it pours hard enough. Trust me ;) It does as well. But yeah I see what you say about the snow. I dont like blizzards as well.

Why do they call black ice "black ice?" I mean, the stuff is clear. Not black. The road is black. The ice is clear. I don't get it.

The snow definitely sucks. You have to shovel rain. My 'ol 240sx has no snow on it, but she's buried in the garage til spring. The Delaware valley is a drifters paradise right now...

This morning I thought I was going to break a bone or something. I wasnt aware that our porch was iced over, so I stepped down on the block (our porch is lower somewhat so we have a block by the door step to not step so far down on) before I knew it was holding on the screen door swinging on it trying to keep from falling off the porch. Caught me off guard. Then had to unfreeze my wipers and I have pop up headlights and had to get those unstuck. Thought I was never going to get the door open as well.

Kinda funny when you have to end up almost breaking in your own car to get the door open lol :D I swear though, I'm glad I didnt go out the back porch, I would have fallen for sure. Stupid a$$ weather!

Still worse here. I can't get out of my house. My car is completely covered in snow, it looks like a big hump, and they plowed the road once...Not like we're going anywhere though, they declared a State of Emergency, which means no one is allowed on the road. Black ice is still better.

slow...I feel you. I made like 7 deliveries in the snow until I was like "thats it, I'm going home". Where I deliver is just one big hill, the town laying directly on top of it, so you are always going up and down. I was nothing but sideways last night. Going forward with your wheel on opposite lock and your *** hanging inches from the snow bank is not fun.

The only good thing is that I can go sleigh riding down my street.

Oh yeah, I'm stuck at my mom's (couldn't make it back to my dad's) so I have no clothes here, no boots, no gloves, and my mom's shovel recently broke...talk about snowed in...

With the least little bit of snow, my 240's tail goes wherever the hell it wants to if the fuel tank's low. If I don't get a truck before next Winter, I've gotta get some snow tires. Now we're having the rain. A town 40 miles southeast of me had to be evacuated. It's a tiny town, but still a whole damn town was evacuated! The rain stopped before the creek could get into my yard, but the flooding and ice storm cost me a day of work. My grandparents live out in the country, and they've been without electricity for almost 48 hours now. I drove out there this morning. Trees down everywhere, broken utility lines, blown transformers. It was like driving on a logging road with all the treetops off to the side.
