Thanks Duke!
I'd definitely feel more comfortable in my Yukon but the Audi may be the better option.
mrs. H2O and I had a place in Denver during Covid so I'm no stranger to driving in the snow. Nobody can drive in the ice though.

Correct on the ice. Need studded tires to have a prayer

I mix fernet and Diet Coke together pretty often and people look at me like I’ve got horns growing out of my head

Fernet con Coca is the national drink of Argentina for a reason.

Wish I had more mass in my rig.
Yeah bruh, just go slowish and give the cars in front like 4x the gap you are used to. The enemy in winter driving is accelerations. Avoid that at all cost.
My other piece of advice, if you do fins yourself sliding... dont fricking panic. Fear is the mind killer. Turn slightly into the slide, dont hit the brakes or gas (like a panicked pussy would). Let the traction come back and correct.
Jesus take the wheel works fairly well in an icy slide, fwiw.
You can drive safe but all it takes is one dummy in a hurry
Out here taking evasive action and making evasive maneuvers left and right like a boss.
Drive safe y'all

Tell me about it.
My commute is like 20 minutes on I70 from near Keystone to Copper Mountain. I used to pull a much longer commute from Twin Lakes to Copper (~40 minutes in good weather).
I miss the longer commute. It was mostly miners going to Climax and resort worker traffic. Much much better drivers. Plus just two lanes.
On 70, fricking Texas plates and red plates want to just drive down the middle of the road, brake erratically, and go 20mph too slow.

I'd rather just stay home at that point.

Agreed.
Look, I took a bunch of math to be fairly good at this.
You dont need to understand much of it to be pretty good at weather as a lay person.
"Oh har har, look at me solve the frick out of this second order PDE."
Great bruh, you flexed your smart while enlightening nothing.
Now if Dr. Josh was using this to explain why BR wont get a bunch of ice.. good on him. But i find that equation pretty fricking complex to educate the masses. You know, bc it looks a lot like a linear best fit vs actual theory.

So is the weather all math? Damn dude I literally just actually conceptualized that for the first time today.
Unfortunately sometimes there are too many inconsistent variables that mess with the equations
ftr - not a meteorologist, just a math nerd

FIL just let me know his diesel Generac 50000, or whatever it’s called, tank is full and he is good to go. He lives ~ 8 miles from the gulf in vermilion Parish. Mil said she saw on Facebook they will get it bad. He said neighbors told him possible power loss. “Don’t worry, I stopped and got my beer and wine”

Well it's kicked off with a vengeance here in central AR. Went from nothing to white in about 10 minutes, and now it's a sleet/snow storm. Never seen it sleet like this, it's falling slowly like snow and in enough volume to white out the street lights.
Our forecast has moved from getting a ton of snow earlier in the week, to getting a ton of ice yesterday, now back to getting a ton of snow and sleet (8-12 inches)
I feel for those of y'all looking at an ice event, that's what worried me the most out of this. Give me all the snow and literal inches of sleet over that freezing rain any day. If it were just me and the wife up here in Arkansas it would be one thing, but we have a 3 year old that can't sit still and refuses to wear socks. The thought of going days without power had me stressed

I mean, would it be the case?
Meteorology is all physics, which is explained in the language of math.
But ya know, we gotta simplify shite for the computers to get this done in a reasonable amount of time.
The issue isnt so much that we dont have a good idea whats missing, its the power to calculate it in a time that is useful for predictions

Yes. Earth is undefeated.
We can math until we run out of ideas and answers.
It be like it is.
Also winter is hard to predict

Where are ya relative to LR? Thats useful info.

ty 4 x-planation grtizzle 
the purple blob on the radar on the iphone weather app on the time lapse shite looks like a big blob of purple coldness and downtrodden misery that is fixing to envelope the entire Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex - wild

I've been too busy prepping to read all day but best i can figure Tennsippibama about to get brutally buttplundered. The only folks I feel remotely confident in saying we have it better than are the folks from Oxford to Booneville roughly. They seem to be absolutely, 1000% fricked. We are only 998% fricked
Tell Dr. Josh I didn't need some fancy book learned formula to figure all that out either!

Give me 68 hours and I will
Be able to tell you exactly how much snow fell in the next 24 hours
