Feeling my northern brothers pain

[phatdaddy]

Went out to get paper this morning, slipped on ice in driveway. Sprinklers ran last night and we got down to 28* for about 6 hours.

I don't know how u guys do it.

Should i invest in snow tires or go straight to chains?

I'd buy a strong, rugged 4wd vehicle.. (Perhaps a used military Hummer)? and then invest in some new carbide studded tires. I think that should safely get you through that horrific ice age you're having.

Ferm, your further south than i am, so we don't get a break until Tuesday afternoon.

D, thanks for the tips from someone who lives it, but I decided to get caught up on my netflix and cook some Zoupa Tuscano.

If i find myself in another situation where water freezes in nature, i will be seeking additional answers

Thanks

Wife made homemade split pea soup today... Ham, carrots, potatoes, onions
and of course the split green peas.... Winter type soup at it's best. YUM!!!!
(I'd think twice about those studded tires... You'll need all the traction you can get on the frozen water).

I've had enough snow for a life time!
