Well, had to go to the doctor for check up at 10:00am. When I left had some flurries coming down by the time was finished at doctor downtown the secondary roads and the ground was covered. I guess we have about an inch of snow, I know that's nothing for most folks but for the bad drivers around here it is like 10 inches. My SUV was fine but people would not get out of the way. A normal 20 minute trip home took me over and hour. Hope everyone is warm and safe at home!

 Shut down my business around 1:00 today. Headed home people here cannot drive on snow.  Wife was stranded up town for 3 hours in traffic, went to pick here and her two friends and two kids up.  Got home around 4 strictly do to poor drivers in Alabama. Parked cars at Red Lobster for the night

Same problem here they can't drive in the snow. I guess I can't be to hard on them, they don't get a lot of practice around here to drive in the snow. Back in the day I would have been out in my Jeep making a little extra spending money pulling people out of the ditches!

we were 7 below this morning, that's without the wind chill factor, 17 below last week witout adding in the wind chill factor, no snow today though, very happy my winter car is handling it well.  BTW just west of Brownsburg Indiana really not that far north of ya Arland.

Don't worry, the folks 'round here CAN'T drive in it either......
Of course sometimes the people with 4 wheel drive (I drive one) forget one very important aspect of driving in the snow ---4 wheel/all wheel drive will help you go -- but it doesn't necessarily help you stop, so many of them end up causing collisions or just plain going sliding off the road.

All Y'all down south stay safe.

I did the same. Left at 1, my normal 25 minute commute took me 3 hours on the west side of Atlanta. My dad was out in this mess, 80 yrs old and still working, stuck in traffic for over 4 hours. He told me he had never had to pee so bad in his whole life. One of my sisters has been over 6 hours now trying to get home.

Oh well, it only happens once in a blue moon here. Kinda glad they don't spend millions of our tax dollars on snow plows and such to use so seldom. Problem is many of the transplants, the ones who say they can drive in anything, are always complaining about how us Southerners can't drive. It's not us, well not all of us, it is the ice on the road that is a problem I don't care where you're from. I had no problem but I have 4WD and a fresh set of Toyo's on the truck. Actually helped a damsel in distress on the way home, don't ask me why I drove by so many others.

Funny thing, I was sitting in traffic and heard a familiar sound. Some guy on an Electra Glide was motoring up the emergency lane, covered from head to toe in snow and slush. That is a Die Hard HD rider, kudos to him, or maybe a straight jacket.

Art - I have friends who never made it home tonight... After four hours stuck in no moving traffic on the road, some of them returned to their offices, one was picked up by a friend where they were stranded and is spending the night there, and one hasn't made it home and is at a Marriott hoping for a room. My wife left work at 12:15 and it took her 3 1/2 HOURS on GA 400 to get home today. She beat the worst of it.

We got an honest 3" here at the Badger Den, and it's going to freeze hard overnight. Ain't nobody needin' to be goin' NOWHAR tomorrow mornin'!

Wow, lot of parents are really PO'd, seems the people in charge waited to long to close the schools,  school buses stopped running, salt trucks were not deployed in a timely manner, almost all traffic in and around town at a standstill, parents were off work but could not get to schools. What a CLUSTER!
