Funny that people only associate the desert with AZ. Flagstaff is at 7000’ elevation, with a couple of ski resorts close by. @cdnpinhead is not quite that high, but certainly high enough.
Here in Halifax we have received no snow at all in the last 24 hours, and yesterday was a nice sunny day and surprisingly mild. But the weather folk issued warnings up the yazoo for all sorts of dire results and the emergency mgmt group in govt issued their usual alerts, like having 72 hours worth of food and water both at home and in your vehicle. Naturally the local news media amplified all of that noise and got everyone freaked out, and schools were cancelled for today sometime last night.
So nothing here happened until a couple of hours ago around noon, and when it did it was some drizzle and a very few ice pellets. Now the temps are above freezing and it is just a coldish damp day. The weather types are now calling for a big pile of snow on Friday. But they have so little credibility at this point I am wondering whether to even pay attention.
My snow blower is about 3 years old....it’s an EGO battery model. I can’t use it because of my surgeries (at least not yet). But, my son came by last evening and got the whole driveway and sidewalks done (including the neighbors on either side). The batteries finally gave out after the 3rd house was almost finished. Pretty impressive.
Just checked this a.m. and the batteries charged up fully overnight. So, he said he’d be back after work to do it all again.
Pretty good snowblower.
Pretty good son.

My son (who lives near old farmer) said they got a bunch of ice last night. Our forecast near philly is another 5-8 inches of snow and ice Thursday into Friday. Thankfully supposed to warm up next week.
Yeah, took me a half hour to thaw the Kia this morning. Went for coffee with an old bus drive buddy. On the way I passed a Mercedes E class spun out in a ditch. I guess ice doesn’t care how rich you are.
It’s above freezing and raining now.

My ice covered driveway now has a coating of several inches of snow. My Wrangler is fitted with BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO1 tires- they are what Tire Rack refers to as All-Weather tires- non-winter tires that are marked with the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol.. So far I haven't used 4WD yet unless I'm trying to get stuck. The Clubman also wears All-Weather rubber-the Vredestein Quatrac 5-and it also handles the ice and snow with no problem; ground clearance is the primary limitation. The Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires on the M235i also work surprisingly well, you just need to be patient and smooth with control inputs.
Have to give a nod to my Stinger. Out all day yesterday, and again this a.m. Probably 6-7” on the roads this a.m. No issues! I’ve got all-season rubber on mine, too.
I’d consider an AWD Stinger like the GTS- with a rear limited slip diff and summer tires. Now all the AWD Stingers have mid-pack all season rubber, no LSD, and a top speed limiter under 150 mph. Not interested.

You don't have to read the above link, just read these 6 quotes I took from the publication:
“ … the relationship between crash frequency and speed is less clear.”
“However, the relationship between speed and crash frequency is unknown.”
“while setting the posted speed limit 10 mph (16.1 km/h) lower than the recommended engineering value resulted in an increase in fatal plus injury crashes…”
“A consistent, quantifiable relationship between operating speed and crash frequency has not been reported in the literature. “
“However, the relationship between crash frequency and speed is not as clear.”
“…however, the relationship between operating speed and crash frequency has yet to be well established.”
Common weasel words that discredit agencies trying to prove or at least regurgitate and repeat falsehoods are:
What they really mean to say if they are honest with themselves is the data doesn't support them at all. There is no relationship between speed and crash frequency, or it would be direct and clear, such as the "direct" relationship between crash severity and the speed at which one crashes (but not the speed one drives because speed driven does not equal speed crashed at).
I've asked Engineers to defend and define an "indirect" relationship and I've yet to get an answer. Most of what I've been able to gather is you have to get into a long-winded laborious highly convoluted presumption and assumption chain of events to get from A to Z.

We had severe storms here tonight and lightning hit our Water Treatment Plant causing a loss of power and the plant’s inability to produce safe potable water. We had over 6 inches of rain in a 2 hour period causing flooding.
I think this is the first time since I’ve lived down here that we have to boil our drinking water. The alert is for 48 hours.

I read it. You conveniently “missed” whole part about relationship between speed and fatalities.
I mentioned crash severity and speed at moment of impact to be directly related/correlated/linked. The most severe type of crash is a fatality, so I don't think I missed it.
Still, you have to wonder how an agency can flip over, bend backwards, and twist and contort to try and make it seem like there's a relationship between speed and crash frequency that they basically say the opposite at LEAST six times.
Another favorite line of mine (not in this study but I've seen it in others is) "more research is needed in this area." You mean there's not enough data from the human history of driving statistics already?
The worst studies are ones that use "estimates and expectations" to assert a claim. There's an IIHS Study that claims it was over a 20 year period, to give the impression it's a comprehensive study. Yet most all the figures they use are "expectations" and "estimates." Go figure.

Check out the graph showing how many drunks give speeders a bad name in the fatalities spread out over drunk vs. not drunk and age. Seems age does bring wisdom.
I also noticed the high percentage of so called "speeders/speed related" on bad condition roads. Failure to heed bad conditions is a driver error in judgment. Sometimes called a "recognition" error in collision causation studies.
I commend the NSC for being pretty straight forward with mostly "just the facts." Sure, they are regurgitating NHTSA, but at least they don't embellish.

I think you have miss it. It does say that severity of accidents increase with speed. Logic would state that the more severe the accident the more severe the injuries and the most severe injury is death.

Remember the report is not about speed and fatalities it's about designing roads that encourage driving at a safer speed.

My guess is that since they are connect to the grid and electricity can flow both ways I would say that power to heat the casings comes from the grid.

Still, you have to wonder how an agency can flip over, bend backwards, and twist and contort to try and make it seem like there's a relationship between speed and crash frequency that they basically say the opposite at LEAST six times.
Another favorite line of mine (not in this study but I've seen it in others is) "more research is needed in this area." You mean there's not enough data from the human history of driving statistics already?
The worst studies are ones that use "estimates and expectations" to assert a claim. There's an IIHS Study that claims it was over a 20 year period, to give the impression it's a comprehensive study. Yet most all the figures they use are "expectations" and "estimates." Go figure.

Check out the graph showing how many drunks give speeders a bad name in the fatalities spread out over drunk vs. not drunk and age. Seems age does bring wisdom.
I also noticed the high percentage of so called "speeders/speed related" on bad condition roads. Failure to heed bad conditions is a driver error in judgment. Sometimes called a "recognition" error in collision causation studies.
I commend the NSC for being pretty straight forward with mostly "just the facts." Sure, they are regurgitating NHTSA, but at least they don't embellish.

TX has no one to blame but TX. They produce more power than any other state, yet they can’t power themselves.
