[T3] Southern dis-Comfort

[Chris Slaymaker]

Here in Tennessee, things haven't been so bad. We have dodged the bullet more than once.  That is to say, they have brined the streets in preparation for inclement weather that didn't come to pass.  I'm not sure what the brine consists of, but it's part salt (obviously) and part sugar (I think to help it lay and stay).  I have two air-cooled VWs that I don't want to take out on the roads like this, but what am I gonna do?  I drive Lurch when the weather's really bad and I baby Foster as much as possible (Foster gets twice the MPG as Lurch).

When Atlanta got socked in, Knoxville had about 2 inches.  I stayed home that day (because I could).

As I write this, the streets are brined (must have happened last night) but the weather today has been dry.  Snow is expected for tomorrow, but no accumulation.  On Wednesday, another system moves through with the potential for a few inches of snow here, but about a foot of snow in the next county (Smoky Mountains). 

I have no problem driving in it, but I have to watch out for all those people that do.
