Snow watch

[Fluff and Stuff]

The roads here in the seacoast are very bad. Wet snow compacted makes for very slippery conditions. Drive slow and leave plenty of space between you and the car in front of you. No hard or panic stops.

Doesn't everyone use snow tires in the winter?

[Kat Kanning]

No.  I'd say most people use all-season tires.

[Fluff and Stuff]

No.  I'd say most people use all-season tires.

But you are allowed to use snow tires?

The vast majority, yes. Snow tires are for thick dryer snow. Nothing works on wet compacted snow except chains, which I believe are only still legal in northern NH.

So, are you saying that the only way to drive safely in southern NH is against the law?

Or drive slowly. Don't make sudden stops or turns. I was on 101 this morning. Most folks were going about 35 MPH. Normally? 70-75. Speed limit is 65

I had a Hell of a time getting paint to stick to my 'Snow Porcupine'!

Lloyd, the '60s called. They'd like their flashbacks back.

The 60's were a flasback. It's like deja vu all over again.

Lol! You were there? You were there?

[Mark]

Nope, the novelty doesn't wear off that quick.  I'm still delighted about it, and it's been over a year.

32 years and counting, and I still love it. I guess I'm a slow learner.

Driving slow seems to work but there are still common rear enders at intersections. Don drove the 20 miles of mostly interstate to work this morning and he said the traffic moved at about 30 mph with no problems. So a normally 35 minute drive, took about an hour. He is happy with the all seasons he bought this summer, but learned the hard way that regular windshield wipers don't last long in winter. Get the winter grade.

I hear studded snow tires around here quite often. We get around on normal tires.

Wow! Its like when I wave my hand in front of my eyes, I see like 100 fingers, man!

[Kat Kanning]

I've seen that 

[Russell Kanning]

We got about 6" or so.
