ice storm drivers
We are having a mini sleet/ice storm here and all the police are asking everyone to stay off the highways. The news camera people are showing the accidents , and the majority of them are suv's. I think suv owners may be over estimating their vehicles capability in bad road conditions , and not aware of the fact that a 4 wheel drive doesnt mean squat, on a sheet of ice. my two pennies ,

Im in NC and I have about an inch of solid ice on my truck. I dont know what happened, Yesterday it was 72 degrees and sunny. Oh well i have a two hour delay at school and still hoping for a cancellation.
They have closed the draw bridges around here. But it was fun doing donuts in the parking lot after i got off work.

I had to head back to Lincoln for school. Snowed last night after it did a little freeze rain. Got close and saw a Dodge caravan out in the MIDDLE of a CORNFIELD. That took a lack of brains 
. Then as I went to exit the four lane onto the highway, it's one of them almost circle jobbies, 20mph rated, I saw three sets of tracks going off the edge 
. How stupid are people? Highlight of the trip though was almost having a cop rearend me at a stoplight.

Here in NJ, I generally avoid the highways during ice/snow. It's not the weather itself.. it's the drivers. Usually when there is a pretty bad snow storm, most of the traffic will go whatever the safe speed is.. but there is ALWAYS some moron in an SUV who thinks he's invincible in his $70,000.00 Escalade and blows by you going 70 when the rest of the drivers are going 20.
