ET80 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Had a production issue with a vendor that our Operations team couldn't figure out for six months. Got involved, solved the problem in three days, with one day being a Holiday and two days stuck at home during this freeze. Resolved the issue with the vendor at midnight today. Got a "wow, great job!" message from the President of the company, with my manager CCed on it. Manager just Sametimed me saying how I was the talk of their status meeting this morning. This is me walking through the office now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muh. People in the south are not used to, dont have cars/tires for it, and goverment doesnt have the equipment to fix it. I see people in the ditch all through winter. Northerners have a high and mighty idea of driving in the snow but most arnt all that good at it themselves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had any fun on dirt, and gravel roads in their days. Never had to drive around where the only plowing is peoples bumpers and snow that has been packed down from tires Don't have cars/tires for it? It is called slowing down and using common sense.

I can tell you dont know what your talking about at all. People who think like toh are a dime a dozen honestly. Just nonsense superiority that has no bases in reality. If you cant comprehend how a mustang with worn out tires (which is perfectly acceptable in the south) cant handle any snow or ice no matter the speed then your opinion on snowy roads is just based ignorance.

No, worn out tires are not acceptable anywhere. Doesn't matter. More vulnerable to the elements with bald tires. Easier puncture or to just blow out. Bald tires are not an excuse. No matter where you live. That is the persons own fault. And yes I do. People drive around in the winter with mustangs, camaros, and other sorts of rear wheel drive tires around here. You can still get around if you drive normal. While your grip level may be worse, if you slow down, and use some common sense, you can get from point A to point B.

gopherwrestler Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 And you see it all the time around here, we slow down. All of a sudden you see people driving across country, from down south in the winter, still driving 70 on the interstate fly right by you, and end up in the ditch 10 miles later.

gopherwrestler Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Big vehicles with 4 wheel drive don't help you stop from sliding or go in the ditch. May help you drive out of it, or drive thru deep snow, but it won't help you slow down on slick roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep it's funny when the dudes with 4wd talk as if winter driving is a risk free breeze and then a week later post a picture of their truck in a ditch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them are still the idiot drivers that never figured out how to slow down and use a little common sense while driving on ice/snow. Size of your vehicle, 4WD mean absolutely nothing.

While your grip level may be worse, if you slow down, and use some common sense, you can get from point A to point B. Im not talking about tires about to blow. But the level of tread needed for snowy icey conditions is significantly higher than that needed in rainy conditions. Thats why northerner tire places get hammered in the winter. Even the tires you buy are different. Not a lot of need for high end all weather tires in sunny dallas. Then add in that the conditions there driving in are the worse it gets. Anyone with half a brain and experience in winter roads knows heavy snow cold snow is better then chilly light snow. Just like people mocking Atlanta a few years ago about it barely snowing. It wasnt the snow it was the massive ice sheet the road was. The massive superiority that northerns get about snow in the south is comical at best. I live in michigan which had a hundred car pile up last year (or the year before) driving like morons and still you hear this “hardy har har southerners dont know how to drive” people drive like reckless morons regardless. But id take my chances with a southerner that scared in the snow then a smug northerner who thinks hes above the dangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, I think that is Todd McShay. I have a lot more respect for Mel Kiper than that bozo. And in all honesty, all draft "gurus" are wrong. 32 players drafted in the first round, how many end up being worthy of that? The 2 consensus safest picks in recent years were Aaron Curry and Chance Warmack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normal sedan, like a typical Corolla let's say, "normal" snow conditions? Whatever that means? Like a slight downfall with a few inches on the ground?
