Post your location or dm if you need a ride. Several of us are out giving rides and can come help.
Edit: had to call it for the night and get my kid home. Good luck out there.

If you absolutely just have to drive today, for the love of god please drive as fast as possible. Less time you’re on these dangerous roads, the better.

As a Wrangler owner I can only tell myself no for so long.
Edit: not enough snow on the ground to say yes to 4x4 today. Sad day indeed.

The first rule about secret goth church is.... we don't not tell the fake goths they're invited.

If you have AWD and good tires. Go below the speed limit and allow enough time for braking you should fine at the moment. Drove from east side of town to Turners station and didn’t have a problem. Definitely be mindful of other people though since you do not know their capabilities. And always if you don’t have to drive don’t as that’s the safest

The main roads aren’t to bad yet but the side roads are awful

It’s important to know that some of these locations are “shelter in place” and once they’re full, people will be staying there for the duration of the cold snap. It’s very important to go to Grace tonight to get squared away. Downloading the Shelter SGF app will help provide up to date information.

It’s not you. It’s the other guy who doesn’t know how to drive on snow you have to wait and slide in You. Stay home if you can.

There were a few slick spots but mostly okay around 11 but the real issue is the cold. My brakes were actually freezing up.

To be honest I was under the impression that Brightspeed didn't take over the shit lines from ctl, only the fiber. That's disappointing. Hopefully they will commit to fixing it.

My son and I scored some of the Tamales Diablo and they were excellent.

The roads aren't that bad. However, the cold is the real issue. If you did happen to get stuck, it could be potentially dangerous if you aren't prepared for it. I'd stay home if possible.

Traction wise they’re ok. Visibility is terrible currently. Be careful

I drove to work and back today. It wasn't that bad around 9:00 when I left, but after getting to work and seeing the snow just getting worse and worse we decided to close and go home.
It was just me and my boss, and I live north of Republic, so I had to take a lot of highways to get home. Little nervous I have to say haha.
I do have 4 wheel drive so they werent that bad, I'd say if you can help it,.don't drive.

They live outside of Springfield where Brightspeed is the wired broadband/phone provider who took over Centurylink's wires. I won't dox them, or myself, any closer.
Her mother literally kept calling the service line for her home phone. Never got a response even when she did get through.
She just gave them an earful and cancelled her landline; you could get the accounts people fine. Her cell phone was on T-Mobile already, so switching wasn't a big deal.
I haven't asked her about it directly, it's just what my ex said to me. But the neighborhood my ex lives in, about 8 houses, have all gone to T-Mobile, during and after the switch.
Centurylink has been the provider there for decades. I always used to call them "barely, but adequately competent" compared to the horror stories I heard hear on here. Now I'm on mediacom, have great speed, and it barely goes down. Before AND after the switch, I don't consider them a provider anymore, because they can't provide the services they offer, and ignore service complaints.
You gotta understand, outside of a metropolitan area, you're a fucking second class citizen. What you're offered is overpriced, barely maintained, and high price. When she went to T-Mobile, she got double the speed, barely any downtime, at half the cost. This is a systemic issue, not a one time deal.
My parents don't even qualify for that, they're still on fucking HughesNet. They were 10 years out of date 10 years ago.

I like to preach that the safest you can be on the road is not on it at all. Plenty of people have no choice but to drive, so stay out of the way if you can.
