Driving In A Blizzard Possibly email this discussion to a friend?

Well here's a shot from my front deck of what it looks like here in Minnesnowta today. I have blizzard conditioons with about 8 inches or more fallen so far. Sunday early morning my wife and I are off to the Cirque DuSoliel show at the casino. It is going to be about -5F with windchills of nearly -40F when we leave with blixxard like conditions. But this won't stop me from a fre show, free buffet and $60 free cash for gambling all perks from the Casino. Ever drive in a blizzard? Like it? I don't mind when it is something like this anyhow.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

Hi Grandpa Bob, that sure sounds like a great night out, free show, buffet and cash to gamble, what fantastic entertainment, only wish I lived closer I would love to come along with you and have fun, but I don't think I'd like all that snow you are having or the blizzard. Blizzards are rare in the UK and I don't think I've ever driven in one, but I certainly wouldn't though, it's not me it's other road users who are not safety minded on our UK roads! Have fun my friend, you deserve it!


myLot reputation of 95/100. webeishere (12400)   ranked 356 out of 38,346 in life  1 year ago

Night out?
We are leaving by 9 a.m. and will be there till 8 or later at night.
The show is at 2. I get the tickets at 11. We gamble and hour, see the show, eat the buffet, then gamble a few more hours maybe. I love the snow a LOT.
Thanks also, we plan on having a great time.

Hi Grandpa Bob
We still have no snow here I really envy you
I have never driven in a Blizzard no as we do not get the Snow that heavy any more, I have to say though I would not like to


myLot reputation of 95/100. webeishere (12400)   ranked 356 out of 38,346 in life  1 year ago

I love the snow.
I just hate having to clear the drive, steps, deck, and porch is all.
Especially when it is really windy as the snow just blows right in my face mostly.

My husband used to love to drive in a snow storm, especially since not many people are out in it..But where we live, if it gets too bad, we have what is called a level 1, 2, and I think 3.. 1 is to caution people, but 2 & 3, if you are caught in it without an emergency, you can get ticketed..
Be careful, load up on fuel, bring plenty of blankets, radio, cell phone, food, water and tools in case something happens, it never hurts to over pack when driving in a storm..

You drive careful tomorrow and you and your wife have a good time. Can't wait to hear how much money you turn that $60.00 into. hahaha No,I don't even like to drive in a hard rain much less snow.


myLot reputation of 95/100. webeishere (12400)   ranked 356 out of 38,346 in life  1 year ago

I alwys drive carefully.
It is only about 45 miles so I figure an hour or more depending on the raod conditions. Hopefully not too bad.

I guess I should have said to watch the roads and to watch the other drivers. Usually it is the other drivers that you have to watch out for or you get people who,like me, who don't know how to drive in weather like that and they might cause problems.


myLot reputation of 95/100. webeishere (12400)   ranked 356 out of 38,346 in life  1 year ago

My guess would be I'll turn their $60 into about a $40 loss at my end.

Well a $40.00 loss isn't really bad when you consider all that you are getting to see and do. thumbuphappy

I really Hate Winter Driving.. I have driven in Blizzard like conditions. With near zero visibility. It is no fun at all, pretty scary too!

How was the show?


myLot reputation of 95/100. webeishere (12400)   ranked 356 out of 38,346 in life  1 year ago

I don' thinks its scarydriving in a blizzard.
As long as one is cautious and prepared for a breakdown things are okay.
I have OnStar in my car so if I do break down help is just the push of a button away. The show etc is Sundsay actually.

That sounds like a great day for you and the wife, you drive careful and stay safe, I would say try to come back home before dark but it gets dark around 5ish now so that is out of the question. So just stay safe and take care have a good time.


myLot reputation of 95/100. webeishere (12400)   ranked 356 out of 38,346 in life  1 year ago

Dak? At 5ish?
It gets dark around 4:15 here actually.

Grandpa you are an artist! If I didn't know better I would say that this is a pencil drawing with colored pencils. It really looks like an intricate drawing. I love this. I wish I could reproduce this with my pencils. I might just try to draw this myself. It is truly a piece of art.


myLot reputation of 95/100. webeishere (12400)   ranked 356 out of 38,346 in life  1 year ago

Thanks for such kind words.
I just take the photos then do a little bit of editing is all.

It sounds like you're up for a fantastic day, Grandpa Bob!

I've been wondering when you'd be heading to the Casino. It seemed like it was time for you to go.


myLot reputation of 95/100. webeishere (12400)   ranked 356 out of 38,346 in life  1 year ago

Yeah with dads recent surgery and health issues
I've been stuck in the house far too long.

It sure looks cold up there grandpa bob. Is it actually going to be snowing while you are driving to this shindig? I lived in S. Dakota one winter and I remember snow like that. You needed to know where the road was before it snowed because after it snowed you couldn't tell where the side of the road ended and the field started.


myLot reputation of 95/100. webeishere (12400)   ranked 356 out of 38,346 in life  1 year ago

It might be snowing when I leave. But for the most part it will be blowing and drifting snow I have to contend with really.
