Some of these ERCOT assholes cutting power to people don’t even live in Texas), but the blackouts have also purified my hate for liberals. Apparently everyone in Texas should freeze to death because Ted Cruz sucks (he does). well about that...

Real hurthling! posted:polar vortex destabilization completely owns I think I already know the answer to this, but . . . If the Polar Vortex is bringing all the cold down HERE, that means the heat that used to be/is supposed to be here had to go SOMEWHERE . . . and that somewhere is the North Pole, isn't it?  In other words, am I correct that every time this happens, we can/should expect to see polar warming get a bit worse following that event?

It'll just blow off on it's own on the highway and then its somebody else's problem.

Minrad posted:drove around a bit today in arkansas and oh my god the number of people just casually driving around with six inch high snow piles on the roofs of their cars In the northern states, it's supposed to be illegal to drive around with snow on your car, but I haven't actually seen it enforced. I have seen a sheet of ice come off the top of a Chrysler minivan on I-95 and smash in the windshield and hood of the car I was riding in, though.

Either the snow comes off while you are driving and it hurts visibility or it starts to melt and freeze turning it into a block of ice. Then it flies off your car on the highway and wrecks front windows.

That poo poo is the worst and so many people do it. I have seen people mass pulled over for it though, the cops around here don't mess around with traffic safety issues. (New Jersey) The worst offenders are loving minivans. "Oh I couldn't reach it to sweep it off" gently caress off you menace. Nothing like driving on the highway and there's a sudden whiteout because some dipshit just hit a pothole and all the snow on their car is now in your face.

TACD posted:I live somewhere that hardly ever gets snow, why is this a bad idea? if you don't take the snow off your car when it's stationary in the driveway, then it'll fall off when you're driving, probably at the fastest or most convoluted part of your route. when your car is in motion, you have no control over where or when or how it will fall off at highway speeds, this is equivalent to randomly pitching snowballs at the windshield of the car behind you. unless the weather's gone through the right temperature fluctuations to partially melt and refreeze the snow, in which case all the snow on your roof is one huge chunk of ice that could come off all at once at any time

Maybe once or twice when someone was accelerating hard and we were driving into the sun and conditions were perfect then my vision was obsructed partially for a moment, but that's about it. Getting angry at people for not wiping the snow off their cars is a real stretch of the imagination.

Looking forward to maybe hitting 33 F for the high today here in KC, the first time we've been above freezing since Feb 5 (normal temps are in the 40s for this time of year). Got lucky that the pipes in my laundry room that froze didn't burst.

I used to be one of those people that didn't wipe off my car and then I was behind a semi that dumped a shitload of snow and ice on me when I was driving and I always do it now. You don't have to get it all off, like you don't have to go at the top of your car with an ice scraper but at least get most of it so you're not a menace on the road lol e: plus snow is heavier than you think why drive around with that extra weight when you don't need to
