Never have seen it before but overnight all three were happening together. We got slammed north of the city 8-11" but I have my Delta Downs form in hand and about 8hrs in front of me.....Nice Program!! Hawthorne will likely cancel, like anyone cares lol. And it's still comng down hard.

I care my father is stuck in O'Hare, he has no clue when he
get a flight back to Philly, The Delta card should be a great day of
racing. I give a Xchanger a shot in the Jackpot.

we had a storm like that here last winter...it was definitely strange to have thunder with a snow storm.

So many incompetent snow drivers.

I grew up in VT driving in snow is like second nature...unfortunately I also live in a college town where the kiddies show up from out of state with the new SUV 4WD that daddy bought them for high school graduation...they are the cause of MANY accidents

well it appears that one of the big issues we have here is that some of our illegals aliens that live in the area, and there are many, do not have any winter driving skills obviously. So they are spinning all over the place.

I was stuck behind a taxi for 20 minutes because the driver thought the best way to handle snow was to push the accelerator all the way to the floor.
Obviously he didn't get very far very fast like that, just sliding left and right.

saw some of the same when i lived in KY...they don't get much snow but when they do the Mexican guys are truly scary on the road.

Just throwing it out there that just because one grows up in an area where there was lots of snow doesn't mean one actually knows how to drive in the snow. I've seen some of the worst snow drivers in history, for instance, in Buffalo, New York.

you're right of course...experience does not equal skill.

Just outside my neighborhood there's a steep hill, These a**holes with
rear wheel drive insist on driving up the hill when there is snow they constantly get stuck and cause a parking lot. You wish you can take them out the car an knock some sense into them.

I also laugh at these people who here the word snow, they go an raid the supermarket for food. Thinking that they going to be stuck in their home for weeks. They buy huge amounts of bread, eggs and milk. They must love making and eating french toast

true, there are horrible drivers that are from the area.
Thing is they have no excuse and to me are worse than the people that have transplanted from more sunny climes.

Everything you post should be in off topic, what's your point?
