Whenever [chat] starts holing itself up in a compound in Colorado, I elect somebody drive me everywhere because I am not used to driving in the snow.
when it snows and people call out because of it, we have one of the employees who has a big, hefty truck drive around and pick them up
I remember when I got in trouble for not coming in to work because of a blizzard and my boss was like "Well, Bob made it in and he lives 20 miles outside of the city!"
And I had to patiently explain that Bob lives on a fucking highway that is constantly plowed throughout the blizzard and connects directly to the road our workplace is on which also happens to be an emergency snow route while I lived in a residential area three blocks from the nearest emergency snow route so while Bob certainly had to snowblow his longer than normal driveway, which he did using an atv, I would have had to shovel for three blocks and then remove a five foot fucking snow drift from the plows in order to get my car on to an emergency snow route.
To which he replied "But still, 20 miles"
we had some real bad snow last year when i was working in the next city down, closer to boulder/denver. i went out and started shoveling 3 hours in advance. drove like 30 on a 65 with everyone else. i got to work on time. my boss saw me and boggled and was like, how the hell did you get here? you came in? i didn't expect you to come in
it was totally dead at work because of the heavy snow and since i'd just exhibited a lot of dedication by making the drive, i got to do anything i wanted that day. i was untouchable.

I got the same spiel once
I let them know their $9 an hour job wasn't worth my life or my property unless they were willing to sign an agreement to pay my deductible for when I got in an accident.
I took a picture of my bus sitting sideways in the road near my bus stop and e-mailed it to my boss with the subject line "Not coming in today (eom)"
Snowing driving is about planning an patience. People who rush in snow ended up in the ditch.
Also doesn't hurt to get some practice spinning out in an empty parking lot just to know the feeling of sliding and losing control in a safer setting so you don't panic when it really happens.
it's also 100% okay to not drive when it's icy out even if you have a shitty job where they might fire you
better to be unemployed than in a hospital and/or sitting with a multiple thousand dollar bill (depending on deductible on your insurance) and possibly getting fired because you can't make it for the next few days now either
I have no idea how it could be done, but institutionalizing everyone staying home when roads are garbage, unless they are part of essential services & thus are provided with vehicles that can handle the conditions, would be a pretty good bargain for most states.
yeah they will issue states of emergency up here in NY when it's that bad
they've closed highways and told people to turn around
which means "go stay in a hotel, it's not going to get better before tomorrow"
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me
the celtics game was just playing that james brown "i feeeeeeeel good, na na na na na na na" song
and at the part where it goes "so good" and then two horn blasts, i ripped farts along with each horn blast
same for the next part
it was very nice
i'm so god damned happy about this nba season
mai husbando giannis is blossoming; westbrook, harden, and durant are all doing some fucking crazy shit on the court every night; isaiah thomas may legitimately make an all-nba team

They FFXV guys will also feel hungry and complain if you feed them toast the previous night.
They will also pause to mention how they really want to stop for some delicious Cup NoodlesTM with comments such as "we all love Cup NoodlesTM but I think you love Cup NoodlesTMtoo much, haha haha, eat Cup NoodlesTM"
Snow driving isn't as dangerous as people make it out to be, as long as you remain aware of your surroundings and don't get between the snow and its cubs you're fine.

I'm pretty sure they only mention Cup Noodles when you first see the stand, in the one sidequest, or if you actually eat them.
Not that it's not still kind of weird product placement, but you see Coleman more than you see Cup Noodles.

it's also super fun
from 16 to 18 when I was on my learner's permit, every time the ice came me and my dad would cruise around for parking lots without dividers, preferably where no cars had yet been
ice like a mirror, nissan spinning wildly around in the wee hours of the day
This is exactly what my mom did when I was 15 with my learner's permit.
The product placement is so painfully hamfistedly done that I'd suspect it did so on purpose to sear itself into my skull, if it hadn't been final fantasy where "horribly stilted advert" is the level all the dialogue is at
the people who call out aren't afraid to drive in the snow. their cars are literally incapable of it, because of the grade of their driveway, the amount of snow encasing their car, etc
Yeah, even a good set of chains only gets you so far
As we discovered when we had to dig the Mazda out of 6 inches last year in the Cascades
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

Yeah we were driving with chains on, back from town. The snow had piled up in our rental house's driveway and we misjudged just how much snow there was. Drove into a small snowbank and lost traction.

My first day at my current job, it was a blizzard, and most people didn't come in. But at the time, I was living with my parents who were like, literally across the parking lot from there. So I spent most of the day... not doing stuff but still at work getting paid.

i hobble over the finish line every goddamn time
It was terrible along with the previous two movies.
we had some real bad snow last year when i was working in the next city down, closer to boulder/denver. i went out and started shoveling 3 hours in advance. drove like 30 on a 65 with everyone else. i got to work on time. my boss saw me and boggled and was like, how the hell did you get here? you came in? i didn't expect you to come in
it was totally dead at work because of the heavy snow and since i'd just exhibited a lot of dedication by making the drive, i got to do anything i wanted that day. i was untouchable.
glorious day

yeah they will issue states of emergency up here in NY when it's that bad
they've closed highways and told people to turn around
which means "go stay in a hotel, it's not going to get better before tomorrow"
slightly, we had a lot of time to spare so my driving instructor just had me try to make the car do 720s after a while.
but anyway yeah, practice driving on ice (by which I mean, practice losing control on ice) before you have to drive on ice one day.
I think this is part of the problem in places like Seattle. It's rare enough that most people never even get the opportunity to practice.
