    I agree about the part about some of the southern states. I remember traveling through North Western South Carolina and southern North Carolina a few years ago dsuring a blizzard and witnessed first hand how unprepared they are for the ice issues. And seeing how many trucks were sitting at the bottom of a hill cause it was to icey to accend is what has me worried about learning how to drive on in it.

    So you knew I would have to find out why :biggrin_25523:......

    It is the northern most town in Pennsylvania. The name North East seems to be a misnomer since the borough is located in extreme northwestern Pennsylvania, but it is so named for its northeastern-most location within Erie County, Pennsylvania. North East was founded by George E. Summerville. Also known as "Big George".

    The man that did this map has an 88% accuracy rating in his predictions. He just posted this one this evening.

    In Londonderry to pick up anudder load of yogurt. This one tho only has one drop, and not the 6 before I had.

    BTW, don't plan on using this truck stop up here for awhile. They've got it all tore up, while they increase their parking area. Supposedly, gonna be a nice stop when they get finished, instead of the dump it is now.

    If you know anyone traveling 75 through Sarasota this morning advise caution. NB shut down between 205 and 210. All traffic being routed to US41. And of course SB is not asa bad but there are accidents thanks to the rubberneckers.
