Yep... folks get behind the wheel of their four wheel drivin mofo rides, and then drive like that 4x4, with snow tires, is on dry pavement. On the good side... at least they're in a fairly beefy machine, that can take a beating, as they go whippin' off into the woods... .......
Guys your missing facts. Its numbers of accidents per 100k people. Its not WY and VT natives can't drive.. Its were low population states that tourists visit.
Which kind of negates you argument that it is tourists if you are going to go that route And, we get all the MA. ME and VT people coming over the border for tax-free shopping too. Ah, statistics, they say whatever people want them to say.
No but it is getting hard to find locally, the last load I hauled from 140 miles away. It's very hard and lasts for a long time. And it looks beautiful! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Bogie it was accidents in snow per 100k of population 1 WY. Pop 535,000 2 VT. Pop 635,000 3 NH. Pop about 1.35 million 4 ME about 1.31 million Population are guesstimate from internet. Small population base skews numbers
I understand that. Sorry, wasn't trying to start an argument, just having some fun with the "stats". Your right NH sucks and tries to skew everything in (that and the Pats )
no arguments here bogieb . I love NH, family all around river valley. I just think it's better the farther north you go that's just an opinion.
Less people that makes sense. Every time I go to Atlanta that place seems like a big car wreck. Come back home I can go weeks or months ad never see anything!
leoht that red gum is beautiful, there was a bar table made from near the horse track in Melbourne. Yeah I might have spent some time there admiring. It and
The way I look at it, if I made it through the day, or other given time period, without doing something clumsy like chop my own head off, run myself over with my own truck, halve myself with a tree, or even lose a finger......I'm not doing too bad, screw the numbers
In Elmhurst,Il training to be a forklift trainer. No offense,but you can keep this part of the world. I like my Wisconsin.
When I got to the part where they claimed how much snowfall a state got, that completely blew the whole thing away. NY was just shy of 124" and in 10th place was ND with 51". Makes one wonder where they got those figures and MI nor WI didn't even get a mention. Makes me wonder if we were dreaming where we used to live and always got over 200" of snow. We used to always laugh when the news reports were giving the accounts of how bad Buffalo NY had it but they never seemed to get as much as we did... Hum...
Cold overnight but the temperature rose fast once the sun came up. Sadly, we didn't see the sun for long. But they say tomorrow will be sunny and the temperature in the 40's. Hooray! Come on Spring! No doubt we'll have some mud to contend with this spring but fortunately that usually doesn't last long. I do worry a bit about our road though because they put new gravel on late last summer and I fear it will turn to mud quickly. But it should be okay by the time of our GTG.
Lousyweather isn't this interesting? Pretty cool for putting a ton of info in simple findings but has some to be desired. Good call on the low population states Canadian border VT , when I first saw that I wondered..... Seems like out here anyway that also affect the highways, most of them are old 2 lane kinds without shoulders as opposed to just across the border in Colorado (much higher higher population) they are pretty much dummy safe with ever precaution taken. Also the snow is off for me too Backwoods Savage , sure the mountains here get a ton of snow, but so much of the state is plains and gets much much less. Oh, and you mentioned the wind. FOR SURE a huge issue here. We can get as little as 5 " here, but the constant winds blows it right back onto the roads for a couple days, add some sun in the day then ice. You can go 65mph for 10 miles on dry asphalt and out of no where there's blow by from a valley for a mile.
