One of my Project Managers lives just our side of Knoxville and he said that they had a crazy ice storm. School is out for the week.

We've gotten snow the last few days in Missouri, and more on the way tonight. Unfortunately I only drive like half a mile a day and it's usually melted by the evening.

Its weird.  The roads overall weren't really bad at all.  They cancelled school for Thursday and Friday on Wednesday already.  The main roads weren't bad anyway.  Some back roads aren't even touched by plows or salt.  We took the quads out on the roads.

Here is a shot of us running on the roads.  This was Wednesday after they had already cancelled school for both Thursday and Friday (girlfriends cousin is 15 so we were always kept up to date).  So when they cancelled school, the roads weren't even this bad.  This had just fallen about 45 minutes prior.  You can see in front of my girlfriends quad the road isn't driven on yet and you can see it's just a really light snow.  The tracks you see already are her cousins.  He's up over the hill already.

All great posts, but I want to see some snards!

For the first time in recent memory, a good part of the south now has no reason not to enter this fine contest.  :drive:

Remember, pics or your snard didn't happen.

What are you calling the "South"?    Damn Yank.    :nana:

It was pretty funny, he couldn't even believe the reaction to it. Seems like they just aren't used to that sort of thing around there. The whole state probably only has one plow...and it's on the front of a quad! :funny:

We went out to Bass Pro in the middle of the ice storm.  It's about 20 miles away.  They were trying to plow ice in some spots.  We made it just in time because they were closing early and were the only place still open.  We we're asked where we were from.  We said PA and they just said "ahhh ok, that explains it, all the locals stay home". 

And watching them plow the interstate is hilarious.  They do a stand up job but they're so slow.  They're just crawling down the road at a snails pace.  I'm used to seeing the trucks really moving.

One of the biggest problems up here right now are what I'll call "snard graveyards." That's the stretch of road right after a big bump where snards get knocked off, slide for a hundred feet, then sit in piles in the middle of the road. On the way to the shop this morning, a lady (and her dog) in a Honda CR-V hit a big bump, swerved, caught the slippery pile of snards and spun up and over the bank. She and the dog were OK, but the Honda was stranded at least 20 feet from the road and 3 feet up in the air.

And to think of all of those championship winning snards that went to waste ...

OK, I hate to Bogart this fine competition, but nobody else seems to want to enter. And so today I offer up two beautiful snards from two beautiful vehicles.

First, I offer up this little beauty from my personal 2006 Scion xB. This beauty grew over the last two days and I must say, I'm pretty proud of it. Even though I lost a little bit hitting a pothole coming down my street, just look at how much is left:



And for my next trick, check out this bad boy from the boss's brand new 2015 F-350. This awesome snard formed up over the last week of fairly heavy duty plowing. Please note that I had to blot out the name of the company at the request of the big guy.
