15°? In South Louisiana? My street is frozen over. Plus we got more snow and sleet overnight after I took this photo.
I have been in plenty of the white stuff when I'm in Massachusettes, but we just don't get this here.

Good idea!  But, I have never seen snow chains for sale in Louisiana. And the doors on my truck are frozen shut. At least I lifted the wpers off the windshield.

Did your forget how to drive in the snow from up north, snow and ice is is the same. go slow stay off the brakes, down shift well in advance and stay away from the f tards that have no idea how to drive in the snow.
make it a profit center go to every store buy all the milk, eggs and bread you can find.
Set up shop on a street corner and mark it all up 300%, problem solved. |
