My highschool never got shut down, not once for the 4 years I attended it and it wasn't for lack of reason either. I remember days where me and Spent would hike through thick snowfall, blizzards and freezing rain to get to school because that fucker never ever closed its doors. Sometimes the teacher couldn't even make it in and class still went ahead as scheduled.
How the fuck is TX getting snow but CT is not?

I saw a guy doing 40 mph on HWY 59. Speed limits 65. Motherfucker)

I dunno if Houston was as bad as Austin, but I think it's smart to go well below the speed limit when there's an inch of ice on the roads, especially since us Southerners don't have proper tires to deal with this shit.
It's pretty retarded to rag on someone for being cautious. They know how comfortable they are driving in certain conditions at certain speeds. Everyone else can fuck off.

Traffic in this area is extremely bad at times and a large majority of it is due to people who just don't seem to get the clue about driving.
Here in Southern California, my college closed because it was "too windy." Seriously...it wasnt a hurricanne or anything...it was just windy. Also, everybody who lives in CA is a really shitty driver (except me of course), and they can't even drive when its raining...so everything closes when it snows once every twelve years :)
How is them going any faster going to prevent them from sliding around? I don't like slow drivers. I have a lot of experience driving in snow and realize that lead distance when driving in winter is the #1 way to avoid accidents above all else but if someone is driving slow in icy or snowy conditions I'm not going to bitch about it because I understand that driving slower in icy and snowy conditions is probably a good idea. Especially for someone who, as you have said, isn't able to stay in their lane.Quote:
