Weather beautiful now.
That picture I took specifically with you guys in mind.
One explanation I am hearing is the ground was much colder than normal so things froze immeadatley.
I also took some pictures of parking lots filled with " abandoned" cars , delivery trucks etc.
Heard today on the radio that "1000s " of cars were abandoned left in the middle of major roadways.
Keep in mind that while 4wd helped a lot, that many roads were clogged from abandoned vehicles.
Atvs 4 wheelers Polaris and the like did well.
I used f150 4 wd, left Jeep parked for a couple of reasons. ( lockers and 35 super swampers I. Did not want to test live 
with ice

Yeah, I can imagine for people not use to driving in that it would be scary. Heck my dad took me for my first driving lesson in the middle of a blizzard. Said I had to learn some time

Another patch of weather rolling in tonight.
I know lists are probably made everywhere, and not to start a debate about this, but does anyone care to present a few items that are good to keep in a vehicle ?
I swap vehicles quite a bit, and can be the forgetful sort when moving quickly, talking on phone etc, so I plan to leave group of item in each vehicle.

Anyone think a good idea to mention this thread on Jed's bag thread on the OG ?
I noticed a few people immediately jumped to end of times type assumptions when all he was trying to do was mention ideas on how to pack a few supplies to get home.

looks like the south is getting some more stuff, be safe everyone down there
Atlanta (CNN) -- The Southeast is preparing to be swaddled in a paralyzing blanket of ice and snow that could leave huge chunks of the region cold, slick and in the dark.
"This is one of Mother Nature's worst kind of storms that can be inflicted on the South," Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal told reporters Tuesday afternoon. "That is ice. It is our biggest enemy."
Winter storm warnings stretched from Louisiana through Georgia, parts of eastern Tennessee, the Carolinas and Virginia on Tuesday. A separate ice storm warning extended from the Georgia-Alabama state line to just west of Charleston, South Carolina, with forecasters warning of "potentially catastrophic" accumulations in Georgia.
Amtrak will suspend some of its rail service in the Northeast, South and Mid-Atlantic regions due to the winter storm forecast, the company said in a statement.
At least five people have been killed in weather-related incidents, including three people who died when an ambulance driver lost control on an icy patch of road outside of Carlsbad, Texas, according to the state's Department of Public Safety.
The ambulance slid off the roadway into a ditch, where it rolled over, caught fire and burned, the department's spokesman, Tom Vinger, said. A patient, a paramedic and one other passenger were pronounced dead on scene, he said.
In Mississippi, where the northern part of the state could see up to four inches of snow, authorities blamed two traffic deaths on the storm. Residents of Charlotte, North Carolina, were looking at up to a foot of snow, while mountainous southwestern Virginia could see up to 14 inches. Roads were expected to ice up early, making them impassible.
