Teresa and I are in Sugar Mountain, NC again to celebrate 4 years of marriage and we awoke to a good 4-5 inches of snow on the ground. It is beautiful, cold and very nice with a fire, coffee, etc.
One problem... last night Teresa pointed to the sign that said "4WD or Chains required" that was flashing as we entered the community. Well, silly me didn't think much about it because the roads were fine AT THAT TIME. The forecast was for maybe 1/2 to 1 inch of snow. Now, we have a winter storm warning, blowing snow and frozen roads.
That, along with not so new tires on the SUV, means I had to call the local wrecker company, buy some chains and have them delivered to us here. The guy was nice, has the chains and said he will "put us in line" after he pulls a couple of cars out of the local ditches.
Oh well, that is what you get when you mix a southern boy with snow - NO COMMON SENSE. At least we will have chains for the next time I decid to drive somewhere in the mountains during winter.
