Nashvillians -- BE CAREFUL DRIVING!!!

[CaSHMeRe]

Just turned our Jeep sideways on the road !!!! That's what happens when a so cal boy moves to where it snows !!!!

5 mph -- no joke -- going downhill. Brakes locked up ... e-braked it ... Jeep turned sideways and there I was --- Sliding downhill sideways with Prodigy V2's in the front seat with me .... After about 100 ft. of sliding, I came to a patch of rough gravel - non snow covered - and I stopped

Safe and Sound!!!! are the Prodigy V2's, and Steve's Jeep!

Please tell me they got safely delivered to the post office!


I mean, thank Jeebus you are okay!

Holy Cow Steve!!!!! A little tip for snow driving. Stay on the shoulders of the road. You get better traction. I am glad you are safe. More Prodigies can be made you cannot my friend!!!! Be careful!!! lol

Not much you can do going downhill but let your foot off the gas and hope, haha. Has nothing to do with being used to driving in it.

Glad you guy's are ok, I used to be a paramedic, now disabled, seen a lot of accidents where the drivers were in awe of how could this have happened? but yes crazy what the weather can do us. Again glad you were able to walk away!

Thanks Guys !!! Prodigy's are headed to the PO in about 1 hour. Normally, Joanna does this, but I will be taking to the roads once again -- And that's if our PO is even open Everything shuts down around here when it snows and the PO looks for any opportunity they can not to be open! Either way, we will make it there!

I'd much rather you stay safe than get my new toy to the Post Office. Just so ya know.

Everyone be safe. Glad to hear your ok Steve, I can imagine it about scared you to death.
I used to live in Ky and remember living on a hill, during snow that was a nightmare.

They are saying were in for snow here.. in Florida. OMG.
Were busy getting firewood in now. Should be amusing, no one here has seen snow in like 15 years at least lol

 

[AngusATAT]

It's snowing in Georgia right now. First time this year.

Agreed! Glad to hear you are ok too. Sounds about as much fun as turning your car around so you are facing oncoming traffic after making a turn arrow... But I wouldn't know anything about doing something silly like that. (No I don't even have the excuse of there being snow when my little incident occurred.)

I grew up in Cleveland, OH. They never shut down the schools for snow unless the heat went out. Fast forward to Tennessee a few years later and they close everything down if there is even a hint of snow! Try getting a gallon of milk or a loaf of bread if they are predicting snow around here. Most times we never even get it. They closed the schools here LAST NIGHT before it had even started snowing. We have maybe 1/4" out there right now and people are freaking out, lol

Glad you are alright. Nashville is hard enough to drive in without the weather making it worse! Be careful!

glad to hear all are ok...i was in a crash new yrs day here in ireland cossa the icy rds in ireland(coldest weather in 30 yrs here!)...take care and happy to hear a good ending

 

[Sign-Man]

Glad to hear your OK. I'm disabled from a car crash with a permanent brain injury (Ouch!).

 

[Tripaholic]

I'd probably have to change my pants if that happened to me. LOL Glad to hear you're okay. I've lived in mountains for the last 7-8 years of my life and still hate snow / ice.

 

[jlmanno]

got rolled over once while in the ambulance on the way to a call, life kinda flashes in front ya for that brief moment! Was able to walk away from that one though, just inches from dropping over a couple hundred foot hill. Snow headed our way in Pittsburgh, PA! Hope everyone stays safe! Happy vaping.

We very rarely get a good snow around here, so when the surrounding are get 1.5 to 2 inches everybody goes nuts. I've been driving around Nashville today and the main roads are clear. I guess the beet juice is working. The back roads, thats another story. Tonight the temperature will drop and we'll have the dreaded "black ice" to worry about.

I got free tickets to the Predators game tonight, but neither rain noor sleet nor snow shall stay this hockey fan from his appointed puck drop.

 

[indyxlt]

Just walked the dog in balmy 33 degrees with a light wind up here in the NE.

Downshift and pump the brakes.

Should be fun with the Hurricanes in town. I'd say good luck to the Preds, but can't for obvious reasons. But hey, your not detroit so good luck.

 

[Thyestean]

lol Having spent some time down there over the years I always get a kick out of TN snow "storm" stories.

Glad you made it through without damage though Steve.
