Snow used to shut down the whole Virginia Tidewater region, as well as in South NJ.Originally Posted by Gunny
I used to shrug it off. We got it all the time in West Virginia.
Snow does not bother me at all. Ice storms and sleet make for bigger problems.
I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

I remember when it snowed in Norfolk. Trust me, it's nowhere near as bad as if it snows in South Texas.
Completely agree about the ice. WAY more dangerous.

Tidewater VA and South NJ have no snow removal gear. It is contracted out.
One storm in NJ only my boss and I with one other could make it into work
because we had big 4WD's
Storm in Yorktown VA shut off everything. OCS classes cancelled and only
the clinic was open.
We get occasional freezing fog here. That is nasty! Black ice all over,
vehicle doors iced shut, auto's slipping and sliding all over..
Nasty!

I don't remember what they had in Norfolk. I think we just got the day off. Was cool in Central IL. Every farmer had a plow for his tractor.
Speaking of ... too bad that storm HPD posted above doesn't drop a little further south and wipe Peoria off the map. Talk about making a fondest wish come true.

1 inch used to close down EVERYTHING in the Yorktown area.
Every day I beat my previous record of consecutive days I've stayed alive.

That it did!1 inch used to close down EVERYTHING in the Yorktown area.
23 inches was a devastating blast in 1979!
