Ah, nature, you've foiled me again.

[Chaotic42]

I was supposed to leave for Mississippi today at 6am (it's 424am now), but nature dumped a nice 4 inches of snow, and our "high" today is 11.

Here are the road conditions in my area from the state police....

SR-37 SNOW COVERED
US-50 DEATH LIKELY
SR-60 DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE

:sigh:

:beer:

Well, my problem is making it out to I-65. There are numerous, deadly ways to go. I don't like driving them when the sun is shining and it's 90F, much less when it's dark and there is ice on the roads. I'm not sure what to do.

I can give you a clue. Put chains on your tires.

I'm from the bayou, so forgive me.

Where do I get these?
How do I put them on?
How much are they?

I just need them for about 60 miles of my 800 mile journey.

I assume any Pep Boys or Kragen type auto parts shop. Not sure how much they are. Link below should show you how to put them on.

More info here.

Yikes.

I'll pass. I have 12" tires, I don't have a driveway, and it's pitch black outside. I think I'll just wait.

Oh well, at least I get a day to do nothing.

 

[Chaotic42]

Well, I made it down here. It's 65F and much nicer.

Glad you arrived alive Are you back in Biloxi right now? It's been crappy and overcast today but at least it's about 60 up here in the Jackson area.

 

[stormbv]

Thanks. It's a nice 70°F here as opposed to -24°F in Indiana. I have no internet access though.
