Woke up to 7° in Parachute, CO. Which, considering what temps everyone east of here has been posting, isn't bad. But it's almost cold enough to hunt down my toque, I usually don't wear one until the temps or wind chill gets down to 0°. (Toque is the Canadian word for what we call a toboggan hat, ski cap, or watch cap)

Yeah but maybe where you live but not in Florida. I used to run a Watertown, NY run back when I was driving and they get some serious snow upstate NY. I know snow is heavy up north and in the mid section of the country just not Florida.hope not dumb twucker, 88 Alpha and Knucklehead Thank this.

we’re not used to getting a foot and a half of snow dumped on us in one night either. School was closed for days, it took the city forever to get the main roads to an acceptable state, and most residential streets are still the pits almost 3 weeks later (including mine)
At least you guys have the luxury of it melting quicklydwells40, hope not dumb twucker, navypoppop and 1 other person Thank this. -
There’s a reason snow in Florida and the blizzard warning in New Orleans made the news. Because it’s unusual. No one gives AF that it snowed in Kansas and is cold.

A dusting in florida is nuts, 8 inches in Milton is biblical, what a dumb approach to say “that’s nothing”, that’s crippling for us especially with temps remaining cold, it’ll be a few days before things are safe to travel again. As a lifelong Florida resident I can tell you the cold here is different, it’s wet and nasty that’s why you see us bundled up at 50 degrees, and ice and snow to these levels is nothing short of a natural disaster.

As a local driver who lives in southeast Alabama, 60-ish miles from I-10, I should ban you for even thinking about that (don't worry, I'm teasing, mostly). One of our area police departments told everyone "something like this rarely every happens so the mayor isn't going to spend the money for the equipment to take care of the roads for the conditions we are currently experiencing. They wouldn't be good stewards of the citizens money if they did". He went further and said "the officers are not even equipped with the proper clothing to deal with it".dwells40, REO6205, motocross25 and 7 others Thank this.

Yes it's very rare to have a snow storm like this one. Because of the lack of any normal snow accumulation in Florida, no mayor in his right mind would spend tons of taxpayers money for snow plows that would set in their road department yards and rot before they were ever utilized. We'll suffer for a couple days before the meltoff happens and then it will go back to the 60's and 70's.

They have me headed to Wichita...and I think I might be getting an OD load. A KS, MO and GA permit popped up in my email

You’re welcome. I left the paperwork in the file folders next to the door.
This is one big ####ing stepdeck.
