We had church but had to drag though 2 inches of snow and 39 degree temps.
Whew ....

We canceled

And we had only about 3 in of snow and 1/2 of ice but because I live in the Carolina's where they are too cheap to buy salt for the county and city side streets we are trapped at home until it melts. I moved here from NE Oh 15 years ago and this is a joke. The interstates are clear, the main city streets are clear but the side streets and suburb county roads are impassable. It's time to get this state into the 21st century. It is no longer acceptable to just say with a smile, it'll melt eventually. Schools will be canceled tomorrow and some businesses won't open and employees won't be able to get to work because of the either cheap or ignorant or both county administrations in this region. I'm tired of it
Buy some salt!!!.

See what I mean-- someone trying to tell us how the way they did it up North is so much better.

Our area had a black ice advisory until noon. The automated message sent out by our church last night said Sunday school was canceled but 11:00 worship service would be available for all who could "safely" get there.

Well Bonnie

If you don't care about people's safety when all they have to do is buy some salt then I guess those Southern Values are fine then.

Actually I am from the South*

Acts-celerater Posts: 935 **1/24/16 6:22 pm**

Love the South, but I lived up North long enough to appreciate how to remove a small amount of ice and snow and keep things moving. It's called salt. Just doing nothing is not acceptable. It's unsafe and generally stupid. If they need more money, then ask for it.
(*) Related to Robt. E Lee so I think my Southern pedigree is just fine thanks.

I'm sure Ohio averages a lot more snow per year the central part of North Carolina. The issue is probably not so much the salt as the equipment and manpower to spread it. If it is something that happens rarely, the much greater budget it would take to salt all the side roads and subdivisions might not be justified. It would be like me buying a four-wheel drive that I would only need two days a year. Or buying snowshoes.
But if you really are Southern, you might just want to take matters into your own hands, get you a Bobcat and plow your own street, or get you a four-wheel drive pickup and ride around to see who you can pull out of the ditch. Put you a rebel flag across the back window if you ain't ashamed of your relations.

That rebel flag

Might be an issue with about a third of my congregation that is African American. I have a 4 wheel drive vehicle but it doesn't work too well on ice. As to equipment used once a year, they have the trucks all they have to do is buy some salt to put in them. I don't care if they plow as there is little snow but ice is a different matter. I like the South but living in Mayberry is getting old.[/i]

Well, as Andy Taylor might say, "They's got to be somebody a drivin that truck."
It's not just the equipment; it's also the manpower (as I mentioned).

Not to mention, that salt ain't gonna help a bit when it gets down to 19 degrees tonight.

So forget the flag, just make sure your congregation doesn't know you get on the internet, complain about where you live, and brag about being related to Robert E. Lee.

Salt works below 19

And if it gets too cold you add calcium chloride to it and it will melt anything. And as to drivers pay, I will chip in my part to the already exhoribant taxes I pay already if they'll actually do something constructive with the money (see the post about Illinois and corruption) it's no different in the South. Wasn't bragging about Lee, just making a point to you about your aspersions and I have made known my feelings about this aspect of Southern living to my congregation previously and many concur. " it's the way we've always done it" applies to more than churches and it is no excuse for not changing a bad policy.
