Driving In A Blizzard Possibly

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

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!

cirque du soleil is great they are from montreal, yahoo

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.

I have driven in a blizzard to get home for Christmas several years ago...now I am not so sure I would risk it. In the country the roads are really bad as is the interstate tonight. Good luck and have fun at the casino!

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.

here in montreal quebec (canada) there's so much snow that i had to cancel plans for a little christmas get-together at a friend's house. i was hyped up to trek through it with my thigh-length boots, but she insisted it was outrageous for me to do that, and told me to stay home. i am not a car-driver, so i would have had to walk to a bus and spend 45 minutes (maybe more) on a trip that is usually 15, then walk another 10 minutes to my friend's house, all the while carrying bottles of sangria and christmas gifts ;) glad you were able to get outside despite the conditions...i had no choice but to hibernate, and well...it's not allll bad. i'm watching the old grinch cartoon, sipping hot tea and enjoying a relaxing evening to myself :) but i don't envy drivers out there trying to get around in the mess.

I never drove in a blizzard and never will. I dont even like driving to work when it snows out. Hope you have a lot of fun tomorrow and win big,

Hi Grandpa Bob...You be careful out there..Looks a little blustery... Don't like to drive when I can't see the road.. Have tons of fun...

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..

Sounds like a fun day. No better place to be in a blizzard but the casinos. I hope you win a lot. I have driven in a blizzard before, but it was coming home from work, not going someplace. Blizzard conditions can be quite risky when driving, but you sound like you are experienced and will be careful. The visibility is the problem. Hope you guys have a safe trip, eat a lot, win a lot and enjoy.

Yes I live here as well, and yes it is bad out. You be careful as much fun as that sounds your life is worth way more. They should have it cleaned off by the time you leave. I don't like to drive in it unless I have to. I had to go get gas for the snowblower and they couldn't keep up with the snow. So you be careful and have yourself a fun time. don't speed. I enjoy reading all the things you put on here. so stay safe from a woman in Minneapolis.

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?

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.

Drive careful, bundle up, have fun and I hope you both hit a jackpot. How long does it take you to get to the casino? The casinos in Detroit take me about an hour to get there, thats in good weather. I have ventured out in bad weather to go there. If you got the itch to gamble, you just got to go. We had an ice storm the other day. Now we have really cold temps and wind warnings. Its Sunday afternoon and the temp is about 3 degress and falling. The wind is atrocious. Is so cold it hurts. I plan on hybernating for the next few days. I was out earlier, don't want to go back out. I wish you and the family a Very Merry Christmas and a most Joyous New Year.

Yuk! You're welcome to all that nasty white stuff. We rarely seem to get much snow were I live, not in recent years anyway. In fact we are so unused to snow that even an inch or so is enough to bring everything to a grinding halt! They'd probably declare a national emergency if we had that much snow!

The snow does not bother me near as much as the cold. As long as my heater is going, I am good. I live in the Hudson Valley now and we have gotten some snow in the past few days, I consider it a snowfall, most of the people I work with view it as near catastrophic. I am from Buffalo, if you can see a quarter mile in front of you, it is not a blizzard and anything less then a foot is a frost. I remember driving in the blizzard of '77 ( http://larc.hamgate.net/blizzard_of_1977.htm ), I was going to give blood in downtown Buffalo that morning, I had my sister with me, she was 11, in the 15 minutes we were driving it went from a bright morning, to almost dark as night. There was 0 visibility. I could not see the side of the road that I was driving on. I decided to turn around and take her home, well that 15 minute drive turned into 2 1/2 hours and at least one or 2 feet of snow. I ended up spending the blizzard at my parent's house, stranded. About 4 days later, we were able to get out and drive to get my father who was at an aunt's house, the main streets looked like a bad movie, abandoned cars all over. A neighbor got home and the only thing he could see of his house was the chimney. If you use that as a standard for a blizzard, most things are just a light snow fall. I am with you, go for the show but pack for the night if necessary! BTW--how was it?

Hi GRAND BOB, I hope you enjoyed for self and rove safle back, I do love the photo but please keep warm and safe. Tamara

I have never even seen a blizzard. I lived in New York for tow years and we got a couple of inches but that was it. It was pretty tp look at but i hated driving in it. Now I am back in Georgia and it has been in the 70's here for the past week or so and is supposed to be that way for at least another week. I dont think I ever have to worry about a blizzard here.

on driving we have to care about many things on driving driving is not chids game
