Where I am in SC, yes. I called out of work today since I was supposed to work 3-10. Right now it's starting to melt but what most neglect to notice is this evening drops below freezing again so it would have been black ice by the time I got off work.
Black ice, no street lights, no plowing of roads, and tire chains being illegal, plus horrible drivers. So not worth risking my safety over a few hours on the paycheck.

Why are chains illegal?

What??!! You mean we don't already needle you enough?
Dunno, so the tow companies can make more money?
It's because we rarely get lasting precipitation of the frozen variety (like twice a decade) and they figure people are dumb/lazy enough to leave the chains on and chew up the roads even when it's melted off.

The reason most states make chains illegal is road damage but studed tire are legal I believe . But good luck and drive carefully.
What gets me is all the Craigslist ads for help because they're out of food... I'm like, how do people not have stuff to survive for 2-3 days without a grocery trip? I made lasagna and we had that for dinner/lunch the next day. Then I made beef stroganoff because I had the stuff in a box I unpacked. Tonight might be spaghetti because I've only unpacked pasta/canned goods lol. But we'll survive just fine.

I mean,... we could needle you MORE if you wish.

Not only do they chew up the roads, but they break and become flying dangerous objects.

Oh. Sounds dangerous.

Some folks do not stock up or plan ahead. If they can go out and get the free food, can't they get to their grocery stores?
If it ever got that bad, I know where my grandpa hid his snicker bars
They want people to bring it to them. I saw one ad for someone wanting free cigs and food.
All I'm saying is, the population would be much much smaller if this were still the Stone Age. Granted, I enjoy my heat and tv and modern medical advancements but so many people lack any kind of survival skills it boggles the mind.

So very true and very sad, too.
Unfortunately, those are the kinds of people that take advantage of the kindness of others.
Other sad thing is that Shellvester is almost to big for his hut.

Tif, you sorta brushed on a mention about not having to build the night box, what happened?
