I'm in the US- we've had 2 small snow storms so far and nothing sticking to the ground yet. Quite disappointing. 😞

Although- tough to complain as I drive a bike. Less snow == less chance I slide out and die. 😄

Haha! I'm in Utah- "The Greatest Snow on Earth" (Refers to the ski-slopes, but eh.)

Breaking 12 inches here is where stuff usually starts to get problematic. Under that is just snowy play time. 😄

Hahaha...same. I've lived all over Colorado and growing up in the mountains, I have seen snowstorms dump over 2 feet, and in the mountains, things (school, college, businesses) NEVER close for snow.

Here in Northern Colo., it is more about wind and spring floods from the mountain runoff. But it has been unusually warm this year. And NO snow yet

I find it easily .... it just fulls out of the sky and lands on me.

To be honest I don't see what the fuss is about. The UK is so badly prepared.

Any chance of getting about 93 tons of it shipped to California? Powder or liquid. We could use either...

No snow in Nashville. When it does snow 2" it shuts down the whole city and everyone plays in it. Up north it would snow 2' and nothing closed. Snow plows running 24 hours a day and dump trucks spreading tons of salt. Does it snow a lot in the Great Britain? I always think of it being rainy all the time there.

You're only driving from Memphis to Nashville in one day? That's not far about 200 miles maybe 4 hours. Of course you have to stop at Graceland and say hi to Elvis and then stop at the country music capitol of the world. Nobody just drives through Nashville.

Me and some friends drove to Denver, Colorado in less than two days once. about 20 hours only stopping to use the bathroom and hit a fast food joint. We were a lot younger...

We are planning to drive from AR to Memphis, arrive in the afternoon, look around the rest of that day and stay in a hotel. Sometime the next day, after looking around more in Memphis, we are going to head to Nashville and just get a room (do nothing that day) and then spend the next 2 full days and one partial in Nashville.

Our trip has lots of car time, so I'm finding parks/malls/playgrounds in towns every 2-3 hours where we can stop for an hour and let the kids run. It will make for longer "travel time," but everyone should be more comfortable

Lol... I have done those horrendous drives, too, as a younger person. So gad that now I have kids as an excuse to break up trips and give them (and me) leg stretching time!

Did you like Denver? How long did you stay?

And our plans are always changing. Just last night, we decuded to cut St Louis and New Orleans out. Well.... husb decided. I'd love to go back to visit NOLA. But I'm okay with cutting out St. Louis....relatively close to home and we have family in the area... will save it for another (shorter) trip sometime

Only a couple of snowflakes have to fall before everyone forgets how to drive.

I live right on the coast so snow doesn't really settle here anyway, but being on the coast it's often windy.
When it's -2 and really windy it's like -10.
That's very ****shit.

Unfortunately where I live we don't get snow. At least not every year. The last time I think it snowed was 2014 or 2015? And it lasted for a less than a day. sigh..

We didn't really use Denver as our destination, we were just going to Colorado to hunt elk. Denver was the last major city we went through so I used it as the destination. We were in and around a town called Gunnison I guess. I know I have a shirt that says Gunnison so we must have been there. We stayed two weeks and had a blast.. wow things are so big out west compared to the east. Our mountains are 5,000 ft tall and yours are 15,000. When you see an animal it is a mile away and around here you don't see them until they are 50 yards from you. There are big bears there that will eat you too, we don't have that. I go to the Smoky Mountains and chase the little black bears around the woods. I saw a grizzly bear in Colorado and decided the mountain wasn't big enough for both of us, so I turned around.
