When I was out a little while ago driving to work there were hardly any cars out on the road compared to normal and there was hardly anyone at the store.
I figured everybody is hung over or still asleep from blowing fireworks off till after 3:00 AM.

What an absolute embarrassing mess in Virginia on 95, some people stuck in their cars for over 24 hours in freezing cold weather. They didn't have plows ready to go in advance knowing there was gonna be some snow(not even a lot of it either)

Many southern states just don't budget for significant snow removal, so they always end up unprepared for large snowfalls. Not being able to clear a major interstate for 24 hours is ridiculous though.

Nope, still embarassed
Might have to turn them right back around in a couple days though. It's supposed to snow here Thursday night, and I assume some of that will hit NJ too.
Yup I posted about it here too but I got stuck for like 5 hours trying to get into the city. Couldn't even imagine 24 hours plus.

Yes, it did, November 15th,2018 6 to 8 inches of snow fell unexpectedly. Was supposed to be a much lighter snowfall.

It took me 12 hours to get home that day and I live 10 miles from work. No major city to commute through either.
I remember that snowstorm well, because we got a bunch of snow up here too.
The morning after, my husky (who we had gotten a month before) pooped on the floor in the kitchen. As I was taking a bag with his cleaned up poop out to the trash barrel, he escaped from the house. I had to chase him down the street wearing flip flops and shorts and a tshirt, swinging a bag of poop in my hand.
Can you imagine trying to catch a husky in his natural element? And then losing a flip flop halfway down the street?
That was rough. But at least I got him back.
my female golden retriever wriggled out under the fence right in front of my face and laughed.

ya, i just watched it ….very solid band at the time…..
…..they blew hard at the big toronto sars concert back in ' 03 though where ac/dc went on right before and kicked the shit out of their legendary set…..ask anyone who was there and the first words out of their mouth are usually "holy f*** ac/dc!"
I have the aforementioned full husky and also an older female husky mix. Both of them are unrepentant escape artists and have made a mockery of my fenced-in yard. And it's not like I have a small fence, mind you. Because they would blow right through electric invisible fencing, or jump over anything shorter than 6'. No, this is the heavy-duty black chain link on three sides, with white vinyl gates in the front.
And yet, they've tunneled under, squeezed through gaps I thought were too small, and once the older one even cleared it at a running jump. Both also have two broken leashes each to their credit, as well as multiple small animal murders that I then had to clean up. I constantly have to monitor the perimeter and fill in any new escape tunnels.
But they're both good dogs, though.
my male golden has no interest in escaping. When he follows the female out he will come when I call. We have to chase the female down in our car and tell her we are going for a ride. Like yours she is a master escape artist. She’s unrepentant also.
I swear I sometimes feel like one of the German guards from The Great Escape, trying to find the tunnel entrances before the prisoners escape. It's a daily struggle to figure out what mischief these hardened criminals are pulling this time.
At least the older one comes straight back when I call her. When the young husky escapes, I have to run after him and keep him within my line of sight or else he's gone. That's not easy, because as you can imagine, a dog bred for sled racing is fast. Then I have to lure him back with rampant bribery.
I can't complain too much though. They're both remarkably good for rescue dogs and they came for the right price of tax-deductible.
i can’t figure out where they think they are going. They have food shelter and a pack. What’s better in the rest of the neighborhood?
Well, I know where the female is going. My neighbor has an... unaltered male dog and my poor girl doesn't realize she's spayed and can't have any more puppies. His yard is always where I look first when she gets out.
mine thinks she’s some sort of alpha female and she just wanders to other houses and sniffs where the dogs per and she owes on their spots. She’s a phony though. She has never caught anything faster than a turtle and she isn’t going to fight another dog.

the prisoners in the great escape were not hardened criminals…. they were POWs….(but you know this, just pointing it out…or is it your dogs that are the hardened criminals in fun?)
"10 days isolation hiltz"
"captain hiltz"
"20 days"
"right……….oh, you'll still be here when i get out?"
"cooler"
same thing i think when my clucks wander next door…..they have all they need and more right here
Yes, I know. The criminals I was referring to are my doggos, sentenced to hard time in my living room and back yard.
Although now that you mention it, watching that movie I have always gotten the feeling that Ives was at least questionable with the law before the war.
