I remember walking into Chapel Hill through 8" of fresh snow to try to get my brother a good calculator on closeout at the bookstore. (Missed my chance, I was
#23 for about 8 calculators that were on sale.)
I also remember waiting for a bus after another snow. An idiot in a car slid to a stop at a traffic light, then spent 2-3 minutes trying to start again. He eventually gunned it, spun his tires until they melted down through the ice and hit pavement, giving him enough momentum to get rolling.
Drivers here aren't any better. My winter slogan is, "When we're playing bumper cars, I want 3,000 pounds on my side."
