      Follow the money. I am not sure how or where, but either there is money to be made, saved, or lost to prompt a lot of these closings. Personally I thought the insurance companies had some influence on it somehow due to all the damaged vehicles and such. I know that would just be a small part of it, but it makes me wonder. STILL, when it is not even freezing, I don't understand that.

          Everybody was driving 5-10 below the limit, especially once I got into the Huntsville area.

          I just kept looking at the thermometer reading 35-38* and thinking "do all you mother fuckers really not know the temperature where water freezes?"
          The temperature at ground level can be several degrees colder than where "your thermometer" is, professor. But of course you know more than all those other "fuckers" out there, LOL.

            Yup, it's usually different... and when you're dealing with dropping atmospheric temperature, it's usually a good deal HIGHER than atmospheric. That's why when it first starts snowing/sleeting that the frozen precipitation doesn't "stick" (freeze) to the road.

            But of course you knew that, "LOL"

              Yup, good to see you still using those smilies, LOL, which most often are the most intelligent part of your posts.

                Do you care to counter the logic of my previous reply with anything or do you accept what I stated as fact? (which it is)

                  Gladly, once you counter the logic of my original rebuttal, which happens to be fact, to your post. In case you already lost track, refer to your post that ended with your (very appropriate) "confused" smilie.

                    our planet is heated from the inside... our local climate is warm...

                    when a cold weather formation moves in, the ground is warmer than the air.

                    If frozen precipitation falls, it will melt... ESPECIALLY when it falls on very dense ground like concrete or asphalt.

                    cliff's notes: it wasn't even freezing when I was driving home, but IF it had been, the precipitation wouldn't have frozen on the ground anyhow.

                        Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?

                        You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.

                          "Illiterate," is the adjective you're looking for.

                              In 08-09 I worked in Austin for Cap. Metro on the light rail startup team and we had to work during the 1 ice event they had during the winter of 08 (public transit...they dont shut down for weather). On the way in to work driving a 2008 Ford E350 van I was laughing my ass off the entire way in at how Austinites handle icy roads. I saw numerous crashes on the way in and even watched an Austin PD squad car wipe out going over a bridge. They didn't do SQUAT to prepare even though they DO have some equipment for it and they had several days notice it was coming.
