Have been stopped dead in traffic for 2 hours can't move forward can't turn around, all on ramps haven't been plowed-not sure why people pannick over 1' or why plows havent been out yet, our car is gonna get burried by the wind.

Guess we won't be skiing today. People who were thinking about driving don't even do it, should be in regionals but just a heads up to everyone trying to head out today-

It's not even worth trying to go up, there is a 100 percent chance at any large mountains, all lifts will be on wind hold all day.

There is about a foot and I can't get to a mountain this weekend. I only have my urban skis with me, so today is an urban day.

Believe me, I would much rather be getting fresh tracks in the woods, but I have no access to them.

You realize this is essentially a thread of people who cant get to the hill because of driving bans or shitty roads right?

What the fuck is wrong with other peoples children these days.

I know, I know. East Coasters get 8" of snow and the world shuts down, people forget how to drive, gas stations run out of fuel, store shelves go empty....

8" inches... we are fine in the east coast, roads are cleared very quickly. With up to 3 feet of snow in some areas it is a much more lengthy process. Do you not understand? I love reading these pointless comments. Continue--please.

well yeah also i might mention theres a driving ban in effect in MA and CT right now....

it's pathetic. we live in an area with arguably the most spontaneous weather in the U.S. and yet we haven't learned to be prepared for anything yet. most roads still aren't plowed and the snow stopped this morning.

This was always exactly my opinion, but after taking 9 hours to drive around 25 miles this morning, getting stuck and having to shuvle people out all along 95 since the plows were stuck it changed my propsective a little

unless youre from a big northwest city i.e. portland or seattle. The city goes on complete lockdown over a couple inches. School is shut down if there is any accumulation whatsoever.
