Yup, key knowledge point is they do not sell snow tires here and only
the interstates get treated. They lack gear to clear the rest. In 2
days, they will start trying to salt and sand the major other roads.
They will not get to any side roads.

It's still snowing BTW. Might not be a blizzard right now but it's
pretty thick.

Snow tires are not an essential. All season radials with lots of tread
left are as good as most snow tires. Up here they salt the roads at the
beginning of a storm and that helps to create the "brine sandwich" that
stops the snow from sticking to the road. When you get wet snow near the
freezing point it tends to pack down quickly making it especially
slippery. Plows will ride on top of it instead of pushing it off the
road. Snow tires don't help in that stuff.

That could make things treacherous for a while.

The National Guard is out helping my city and county plow to get snow
away from the drains in hope of preventing floods from the upcoming
rain at the beginning of the week. I'm amazed at how hysterical the
Weather Channel gets when North Carolina gets a couple of inches of
snow. Endless video of a couple of inches on the ground. But then,
anything west of the Mississippi doesn't exist for the Weather
Channel. They refer to us as "that part of the world."

Few years back one town in the south had a guy in the back of a truck
spreading sand with a shovel. It was the first feeze in a dozen or so
yrars so no reason to have sanders.

That is the way it used to be done. I worked in highway maintenance back
in the 70s and some of the old guys on our crew got their start
shoveling sand and salt by hand.

Yes. I think we finished out here at 11 inches in my area. Susan up
by Newtown rd said 12. Others are 8 or so mostly. Now the temp is
dropping to single digits but looks like Tuesday will be warmer than
expected so might get late arrival work that day?

Same here, the Highway Department does an exccellent job of plowing
and salting/sanding the roads, they have huge equiptment. With my
tractor with the plow atached I can always get out.

Sometimes I just want Chef Boyardee. I like all their tomato based
stuff with soda crackers or toast and milk. A more civilized man might
add a salad. I'm not civilized. My wife won't touch the stuff.

And an adult man might replace the milk.

I always had studded snow tires when I was commuting (Iowa), and they are terrific.
In my own experience, new radials are not as useful as snow tires. Many people
who can't get up our hills in town, or are sliding all over, hear "radials" and think
any age radials will do. Nope, won't work.

We have many students here from other countries (and parts of this one) who have
never driven on snow and ice until they get their first taste of winter here. It is
pretty amusing to watch their antics...but one has to be a very good defensive driver
and be very watchful in traffic. ;-))

Cashiers at my main supermarket call the day before a snowstorm the French
Toast Panic, because everyone comes in for milk, bread, and eggs.

Why? It seems like a nostalgia meal to me. Milk is entirely
appropriate under those circumstances.

I only recently stopped drinking milk on Thanksgiving.

I haven't had snow tires in about three decades. Studded tires are
legal in Michigan, but apparently the specific tires have to be approved,
and no manufacture has sought approval, so they're essentially nonexistent.

Our roads are typically salted before a snowstorm, too. We often salt
the driveway before it snows.

We have too many hills here to risk not having snows on - when I moved
to town I wasn't going to bother with my then new car, first winter
out I found the all seasons totally inadequate, even if I stuck to bus
routes which get cleared first. I had thought if it snowed, I'd stay
home but that also didn't allow for being out already when it started.

In Ontario, studded tires are allowed only in a few of the northern
regions, and can only be used between October and April. They are banned
in the southern because they do too much damage to the roads.

If the salt it not applied early there is no point in doing it. Once
the snow settles and gets packed down the plows will just ride up and
over the icy compact stuff and rather than scraping it off. Once the
roads have bee salted the rest of the work is done with sand and plays.
Sand provides traction, but there is some salt mixed with the sand to
stop it from freezing into big chunks.

One of my wife's friends came by to visit the other day. I was walking
by her car and noticed that a couple of her tires were not only very
cheap and not all season, but they were worn way past the wear bars.
They were bad enough that if the car had to go through a safety check it
would fail. She is going to the tire shop on Tuesday. I recommended a
reliable one near her house where she will not get gouged.

Were I wanting to eat something cold from the tin it would never be
any Boyardee tasteless sludge and its clones (that's tasteless both
literally and figuratively), what kinda phreak eats that garbage, a
tin of vienna sausauge is classier.
I'd rather one of those oval tins of sardines in tomato sauce...
excellent with some diced onion and a spritz of lemon with a stack of
saltines... gotta have some class! When really desperate I'd scoff a
tin of Campbell's condencsed Manhatten Clam Chowder, goes well with a
liter of Gallo dago red (chianti) but it's been a very long time.

Your highway department needs better snow removal equipment. Here the
plow trucks are behemouth 20 tonners loaded with a mix of sand and
salt.... no matter how heavy a snow and how cold our roads are always
cleaned of all snow. Those beasts plow my road hourly.

No they don't.

lol. By the time you down a liter of red wine, *any food* will taste
good.

If you like the Manhatten Clam chower AND the New England clam
chowder... try combining them both and having pink clam chowder. I
tried that once and I really liked it. I used the Pregresso versions
though - they are better than the Campbell's, imo.

I ate 1/2 can New England clam chowder
then 1/2 of the Manhatten clam chowder
then combined both extra halves for the pink clam chowder
It was a win.

Most times though, I'll make homemade clear clam chowder. It 'Donald
Trumps' both of the other kinds. hehhe

NY State has some huge plow contraptions that have an offset plow
trailer, but they don't do the road he lives on. Most plow trucks are
singe axle 5 ton trucks and there are some 6-7 ton trucks with dual
axles. They need to have a short wheel base in order to be able to
maneuver. Dual axle trucks do no turn as sharply as single axles, and
having a plow on the front makes it even harder.

Whenever there's a heavy snow they plow every hour. I live on a
county road that's a major school bus route for several districts so
they keep it clean. The county roads are kept far better than the
town roads. Other than school buses for about an hour twice a day my
road gets very little traffic, and during fall the over-loaded logging
trucks will occasionally sneak through in the wee morning hours...
which is how I got a new taller utility pole, those trucks were loaded
so high they'd rip apart the utility cables. It took three times
before the electric company believed me when I called and told them
about the logging trucks. The poles are all on the other side of the
road and the wire first goes to my pole, then to my house. The pole
that's on my property belongs to me, needs that pole as it's too long
a run from the road. The cable can't be buried as it crosses a creek.
I'm sure your plow trucks are like tonka toys compared with our
behmouths.

I bet there are some that do.

You write as if milk is not a tasty beverage, and a good source
of protein. I often drink milk if a meal is somewhat lacking
in protein, and if I eat something sweet between meals I usually
drink milk with it to mitigate the blood sugar crash.

I don't think it's something an adult body needs, but each to their
own.

I don't approach food that scientifically and I've never given any
thought to the concept of blood sugar crashes before

Yep:

"Infantilists often wear nappies, may drink from a baby bottle and/or
be wet-nursed (sometimes simulated), crawl about the floor, have baby
baths, eat baby foods, play with baby toys, be spanked, and may
roleplay and regress to an infant-like state. There may also be some
crossover with other sexually paraphilic behaviour including masochism
(as they may enjoy being spanked and/or humiliated), transvestism (as
they may like to be dressed in baby clothes of the opposite sex, the
so-called “sissy baby” syndrome), urophilia (as they may enjoy
urinating in their nappies), coprophilia (as they may enjoy defecating
in their nappies), and lactophilia (as they may enjoy being breast
fed)."

I've always eaten some of them, handy, portion controlled etc. I like the
applesauce, pears, etc.

I can buy that it is a good source of protein, but it sure as heck is
not a tasty beverage for me. It is okay for cooking with, or to have on
cereal. I have some in my morning latte, but I cannot think of milk as a
beverage. If I were to look in the fridge for a cool and refreshing
beverage and there was no juice, water, soft drinks or beer, just milk,
there is nothing to drink.

In spite of the fact that I enjoy many dairy products, the last glass of
milk I drank was in the early 1960s. Once or twice a year I may have a
real milkshake, not fast food crap shake.

LOL I am with you on that. I can't remember the last time I drank milk.

There are lots of things an adult body doesn't need, but are
nevertheless tasty and we eat them all the time.

You might never have had one. I get them, for example, if it's
someone's birthday at work and there is cake. About 45 minutes
later I'm very sleepy. A little milk in such a circumstance would
slow my digestion of the sugar and keep my blood sugar more level.
Usually I just skip the cake, stand at the back of the crowd and
sing "Happy Birthday". The cake is rarely very good, so it's
not worth eating those calories.

Well, yes, I know about those people. But I'm sure there are other
people who just open a jar of baby food for a snack or something.
About 40 years ago there was some sort of berry-flavored baby food,
which I would occasionally buy a jar of because I liked the taste.

I always think that too. Unfortunately, I always think it afterwards.

I drink and use in cooking at least 4 litres of 3.25% M.F. milk per week
winter and summer. After a hot afternoon in summer it is especially refreshing.
Never had a problem with it other than the fat roll around my middle.
