Winter

St. Louis area here. Monday was a wild drive to work. We are far enough north to be used to snow but far enough south nobody knows how to drive in the snow. Highway was doing between 25 and 35 mph on the one clear lane on the way in. Me, on the other hand, had my diesel in 4wd doing 55 in the snow covered lane with no issues. No power outages here that I've heard of or anything else out of the normal. Schools have been closed every day so far this week which I think is ridiculous. School districts around here are run by snowflakes (pun intended) now days. This was nothing when I was in school. They were closed one day last week just for the cold.

My place of employment is nice to us and has 4 reserved parking spots with available power in the winter for diesels so we can plug in our block heaters. There are only 3 of us here that daily drive a diesel. My engine hasn't been below 80° for a week and a half now. It's either running, plugged in at home, or plugged in at work.

No matter how far north, or south, you go, 90% of people are clueless, just generally.
