Our area was hit with a major blizzard yesterday. High winds and lots of snow, plus cold temperatures. Some people handled it better than others. C'mon Spring.

Here's some pic's from our local newspaper.

That last picture looks like an SUV. Many people that drive them here think they are like a Sherman tank and get a fause sense of security when driving fast on snow or ice.

You're right. A high center of gravity, lots of weight, speed, and icy roads don't mix.

Man that brings back some (dreadfull) memories! I've been thru a couple of blizzards and I hope I never have to go thru one again.....I should be OK as long as I stay here in South Carolina...... LOL!

In that first picture it looks like a giant snowblower is working in the background judging by that plume of snow!

Stay safe and warm!
