State of Emergency in SC

[ToyMachine78]

Major ice storm blowing through. Got three inches within the the last 12 hours, and more is falling and is expexted to. Continue to Thursday morn.

Great day for some Turbob if we don't lose power. Weve dodged that bullet thus far.

[bob]

Have plenty of batteries for the express!

[Nazi NecroPhile]

No emergency here in corn land, just a dusting of snow that's melting off the streets already.  No snOBEY day for me.   

[Gogan]

had about 1 1/2 feet of snow for about a month here. God I hate michigan sometimes

[TurboXray]

It'll be almost 90 degrees here this week... I'm sooo glad it doesn't snow here (unless it's freak weather).

[ToyMachine78]

Don't see this in SC often, but we are about to hook up some sleds to the ol golf cart and have some fun:)

[Nando]

30 yesterday, should be about 70 degrees tomorrow. South of us, they are frozen. We lucked out. I'll take the wild swing of temperatures over being snowcalypsedin .

[OldRover]

85 degrees here right now and I hate it. Gimme some snow and ice.

[RoyVegas]

It's terrible here also, a high of 70!

At least we don't have snow issues that are too crippling....

Mother Fucking Cock Sucking Mother Fucker xInfinity!!

[Psycho Punch]

Where I am it is Always 40~35 degrees, I can't take it anymore. (Celcius of course, not that fahrenheit nonsense. I'm melting and there are water shortages in my region :/

[wildfruit]

Severe flooding in south and west of England here, many people displaced from their homes

[PunkCryborg]

It was so breezy at the beach yesterday here I had to leave my tshirt on

[Arkhan Asylum]

I really get a kick out of the south's lack of snowskills.   We got 3 inches here and all we did was go "oh hey its snowing.  lets go get a pizza."

Its 29F here and I don't wear a jacket outside.  FUCK YEAH OHIO.


Down in Alabama, they got .002" one time and the whole city panicked and shut down.

Because there is no infrastructure to support snow bukkake and the states are BROKE!  Like no joke.


PUNKI, SHUT UP!! you are still in Fla anyways...eek lol

Shovels. Salt. Sand.

That costs money. Money which they do not have.

I wish I could find the article reading about it. It's really a sad situation.

[geise]

Yeah when I first moved down south here from Ohio I went from 10° and snow to 70° and sunny in January 93.  Then by March in Columbia SC we got the "blizzard of the century!"  Haha it was a couple inches.  All the grocery stores were out of milk, bread and beer.  News stations were covering it like it was the end of the world.  It was so nuts.  That same day it was the "Blizzard of the Decade!" in Cleveland.  My friend sent a pic of him in the snow.  Little did I know the snow mound was actually his parents car completely covered in snow.

[BlueBMW]

Ill let that girl shovel my snow...

[Nando]

lol @ Nulli - I blame somebody, somewhere for something too! IDIOTS! the whole lot ;)

Use the above shit on roads and walkways... and drive/walk slowly...

Dress warm.

Send this to your local officials. Many lives will be saved.

Dude don't be a dick. 3-6 inches of sleet and ICE not snow, is a problem anywhere. The pic above is not snow its the accumulation of sleet and freezing rain.

We don't have salt, sand, and whatever the hell else because it would be poor budgeting to spend money on a fleet of plows and tons of salt for a severe winter event that happens once every decade. Its not because were broke. Actually SC ranks higher on the list for fiscal solvency. Want broke? Look at California or especially Michigan and Ohio. Those  fuckers are moving down here by the droves for work. They can't maintain a fucking city like Detroit but they have clear roads during a snow storm... Thank goodness....

So STFU!

Guise... are you in Columbia too? I live in Lexington.

[OldRover]

I am moving to SC this summer and am looking forward to a glorious winter after a decade of non-stop summer.

[geise]

@Rove:  AWESOME!  BTW it still gets hot as fuck here during the summer.

@toymachine78:  I lived in Irmo in a subdivision right off of Harbison Blvd.  My wife and I "were" from the Columbia area and our family is still there.  As of right now I am in Wilmington, NC

[ToyMachine78]

Where in SC are you moving to?

My answer to the snow we got today in east Tennessee...

Yeah... that just happened.  I may be almost 30, but you're never too old to play in the snow!

[OldRover]

Where in SC are you moving to?

Myrtle Beach/Socastee.

[GohanX]

Rove, sorry to tell you but it almost never snows in Myrtle Beach. I was there once and it snowed one inch and the town shit down since it didn't have snow plows our salt trucks or anything.

[OldRover]

That's okay... it snows in other parts, places I can drive to. I can't drive to even see snow here on this tropical island. If it ever snowed here, the entire population of this island would resort to cannibalism.

[Gogan]

especially Michigan and Ohio. Those  fuckers are moving down here by the droves for work. They can't maintain a fucking city like Detroit but they have clear roads during a snow storm... Thank goodness....

So STFU!

Tell me WHO could run a city like that. It's a joke, even here.  And I live really close. Grosse Pointe. It's really nice. Detroit is the only bad thing about Michigan, and even that is debatable in some aspects. Those that can't find work aren't looking hard enough.

And... It's snow. Frozen water. Pick up a shovel and shovel that shit! Drive slow. Like really slow. 10 min. Drive should take an hour. It'll be ok

[BlueBMW]

Im from Colorado so snow is no stranger to me.  I love the stuff actually.  I live in east Tennessee right now and Ive gotta say its a lot different here than Colorado.  First off its not flat here.  Its hilly and roads are mostly narrow two lane winding up and down roads.  You can plow and salt all you want but if some of these roads get snow covered they are impassible period.  Even if you have a good 4wd vehical youll still get stuck because someone else will get stuck and block you.  Additionally, it seems like we get a lot more ice than I ever remember in Colorado.  Maybe its because its more humid here.   Bottom line, snow does shut things down here but not solely because people dont know how to drive in it.  Its a different world here in the south.

I understand the hilly roads. I've been down south many many times, most roads are drivable under any condition. In the mountains, yea, forget about it.

I bet every New Englander is getting a laugh out of this thread.

Hey there are two things you never outgrow: 1. Playing in the snow. 2. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches

Cool. Maybe once you get here, me you and geise can organize a SC Turbofest. I vacation in north myrtle every year. In cherry grove

Dude that's the point... there is a big difference in snow accumulation and freezing rain and sleet accumulation. You could literally prob ice skate on my front yard. I'm a 200lb man, and it would support me without cracking or leaving foot depressions.

 My poor dog couldn't even use the bathroom because she was sliding around everywhere. I had to take her in the road where it was rutted enough for her to walk lol.

And BTW..  they don't sale snow shovels here. Not that it would help with 2-3in of ice.

[bob]

Bernie could melt the whole state with a hair dryer.

(I'm sorry, but it just works on so many levels)

[Arkhan Asylum]

Who uses snow shovels for ice.  It's not an ice shovel.

Use a coal shovel.   Or a spade.   It's not that hard to get rid of.   I can clear my driveway out in about 30 minutes.


Step 1: Pour salt
Step 2: Go inside for 20 minutes
Step 3: Go outside and get that shit out of there.

If you don't have salt, just pour some gas and drop a match.

People in the south sound really disabled with something as simple as snow and ice.    My family down south is like OH GOD 6 INCHES OF SNOW WHAT THE HELL.

It's funny, really.  They're panicking, and I'm driving to work with 4" of my windshield cleared off.   The rest can defrost eventually.

Down here people make it into a bigger deal than it really is on purpose.  They use it as an excuse to take work off or similar.  Most people here really don't make it a big deal.  The news likes to, mainly for never having anything else good to report on.

[Nando]

In Texas, snow isn't that big of an issue where we live. Ice is a totally different monster.

Agree though, the weather folk go into orgiastic frenzy with the weather. They finally get to hog most of the air time.

[geise]

Yeah it's all just ratings.  NC does handle the weather a lot better than SC though.  In SC quite a few really are stupid about it.  The problems that I see here in NC is that people are dumb with driving in it.  To my surprise though most of the cars I saw wrecked and abandoned on the side of the road during/after the bad weather were mostly out of state cars from Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland.  There were also some NC drivers, but I guess some get cocky and think oh this is nothing.  People in general just aren't smart when it comes to weather sometimes.

Weather in my hometown is "loose"

Slutty Snow

Not every year, but often, I go down to SC during spring...when the ocean is still icy (before tourists).

I will definitely have to meet up with folks the next time I venture south...(I'm not sure if I am going this April/May...but it is likely).

 

[Nazi NecroPhile]

Ha!  Why can't we get some biting, slutty snow?

[ToyMachine78]

Well everything is relative to where you live. We don't get snow very often, so we don't deal with it well. On the other hand hurricanes can blow through and we won't bat an eye, where as other regions might freak the fuck out. Same with tornados in the Midwest. And earthquakes on the west coast.

[ToyMachine78]

DAMN!!!!! Speaking of earthquakes... We just had one!!!! Earthquakes, ice storms, the world is ending lol

[ToyMachine78]

Well back to an SC get together, I have access to a beach house year round for a a very modest fee. We could schedule it for one weekend, play some obey drink some beer, and goof off on the golf cart:)

HAHAHAHAHA!  So awesome!  Thank you for sharing Gogan!
