Tried to get from Chattanooga to New Orleans yesterday...made it to Exit 76 on I-59.  Got hotel (I was lucky).  Not leaving today because Interstate is still iced and closed in many places between here and home...

You guys that live in the "Snow Belt" are probably laughing at us "Southerners", but to be honest, I can drive in the snow but the ice is something else.....Crazy Rednecks don't slow down and endanger themselves and others.  They think those 4 WD trucks can go anyplace....many of them ended up in ditches and median.....

Took 7.5 hours to get here, regular trip usually takes 7 hours the whole way.  A little less than half way before I decided to stop before it got dark... :bugout:

Oh very much so. Say hello to Atlanta with only 0.3" of snow on the ground. Pansy southerners. I drive fine to work with upwards of 4-5 inches before.

4 WD is all and good for snow, but when you get ice you are screwed. Physics still wins out on that one, got to love friction.

Snow is one thing, ice is entirely different. I don't play around with ice. The thing with 4WD is that people don't realize that it does NOT help you stop, or even steer for that matter.

Seems like Mother Nature is making up for the mild winters we had recently. Stay safe all.

Talk to me about, "wusses" if it ever gets up to 100* in Wisconsin.  You guys all retreat into the a/c when it gets above 75.

In their defense, the southern states are not equipped to handle snow and ice.  How many sanders and plows do they have in Alabama?  My city probably has more.

      Not really, no. I don't know the history, what you've worked on, what you've tried and moved away from… etc.

      Definitely not a favorite… For some reason my wife and I started watching Cobra Kai. I know the original was pretty cheesy, but the inability of these people to get over shit that happened like 30 years ago is astounding. And these kids would be arrested, but they don’t even seem to get suspended from school. Would Danny not notice that Johnny’s son looks like Johnny? Etc.? Why would a completely different dojo that has the same name be “banned”? Oy. Not sure we’ll make it to season 2.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 139 - 2025-02-16 Weather led to a rescheduled GEARS lesson, so I used the time to work on my swing for 60 minutes or so. All downswing stuff. Some swings at 93 MPH. Most around 75-80.

      My Swing (TN94z)

      By TN94z ·

      A question I have is…this swing (fade, pull cut) does not  feel as good and easily repeatable as the draw swing we were working on previously.  I’m kinda in a weird spot where I do not know which direction will be the best to pursue. I like seeing a penetrating 5 yard draw but also like the thought of the fade not getting away from me as much.    Any thoughts on that?
