No, no, no....

This is the first step in the liberal conspiracy to establish the new world order. While everyone is stuck in the house and incapable of traveling to their underground bunker. The UN snow troops will ski to the home of snow bound gun owners and confiscate their guns.

Maybe you don't know that.

There is nothing wrong with 'government decrees' if they make sense pertaining to the safety of citizens.

Besides, since I have common sense, I don't need the government to tell me not to drive during a blizzard, but some dummies do need to be told.
Yes I know it, but unlike you I don't need a bureaucrat to tell me so. Whats next,telling people to stay in when UV's are too high?

Maybe so... But I've never been stuck in a Subaru, have driven around a ton of people who were stuck in all kinds of 4 wheel drive vehicles, and pulled a LOT of people out with my Subarus, including Jeeps and 1 Hummer II.

Maybe I've been lucky. Maybe the US ski team has been lucky. Maybe... then again, maybe not.

It's because the flatlanders in MA don't know how to drive even without snow. Up here in VT, we woodchucks don't let snow stop us. That's what tire chains are for.

Unlike me?

I guess my post was too long for you to comprehend.

What's next? Why are conservatives so filled with fear? Must be an awful way to live.

I read it, I just don't believe you.

Ask a bureaucrat to explain, if thats too much to follow.

You do realize that Subaru's are not 4-wheel drive, right?

The US ski team will run circles around your Subaru in the 2-3 ft of snow Massachusetts is getting.

Different areas handle snow differently.

LOL, that's funny!

You don't believe a life-long resident of New Jersey has experienced blizzards but Little-Acorn, who lives in San Diego, knows all about blizzard conditions, oh yeah, agree with Little-Acorn!!!

I have no control over whether you believe me or not; it makes no difference to me.

It's just too funny...thanks, I got my chuckle of the day.

Yes, I know my current and last Subaru were AWD, not 4WD. I also know that the 3 Subarus I owned before those WERE 4WD.

All that said, I wouldn't be dumb enough to venture out in 2'-3' of snow even with my Suby. It would be stupid unless I had a snow blower with it's own power source mounted on the front. Now I have navigated 2'-3' drifts, but that isn't what they're probably gonna get in Mass. They'll be lucky to keep the drifts under 5'-6'. Pure insanity to want out in that.
