[QUOTE="Evox, post: 1042422, member: 74754"] Of course, on that rare occasion where we get a few inches of snow, which also comes with[I][B] ice[/B][/I] on the road, we're stranded. For us to get snow, conditions almost have to be perfect. Warm air from the Gulf of Mexico has to meet a cold front from the north. At just at that meeting, we get snow which slightly melts and then freezes on the roads. If the cold front from the north wins out, it turns into road ice you can skate on. If the southern front wins, it turns into drivable slush by afternoon. No matter what, it's not economically practical for us to keep the equipment on standby to deal with it. We've had one multi-day event in the last 20 years. In 2009 it snowed serval inches, and the northern cold front won. All that pretty snow turned hard as a rock and hung around for a couple of days before things returned to normal. [/QUOTE]
