I'm going to end up stuck at work if this snow doesn't melt

It started sticking to the road on the way in at ~9AM. Light snow my ass, there was almost no visibility.

im starting to think that SOME people just use inclement weather as an excuse to wreck their cars for insurance reasons. The things I see while towing, i mean seriously, how.......

if i had some kind of safety helmet, my Si would have "accidentally met" a big oak tree in this weather.

Sorry but IMO light snow w/ 38 degree temps doesn't count as inclement. Now it's snowing considerably harder and the temps have come down that's a different story.

Is your life or someone else's worth getting to work 5 minutes earlier? Say what you want about being a good driver, but shit happens.



Be safe.
Why do you assume driving 60-65 and checkerboarding through traffic is automatically reckless and unsafe? There's more to driving than maintaining position in a lane.

Just checked weather.com for 23454 (va beach). Snow supposed to end in the next 30 min and just be high winds for the rest of the day. Radar shows we're right on the edge of it. So unless it circles back around the forecast shouldbe accurate.

I predict a picture heavy "rebuild" thread after cobra4b realizes that weaving in and out of traffic while everyone else is being cautious results in him wrecking.
