IFYPFY.

I wuv that show. Especially in Cleveland where it's on the
lake AND the roads. (Note: Cleveland drivers know how to
drive on snow/ice just fine, but do it assuming -you- do
too, in cars held together with duct tape and iPod wires,
at 20mph over the speed limit. This causes wackiness
qualitatively different from the Southern "O NOES IT'S
ICE!" "O RLY?? TO THE GROCERY STORE, MUST STOCK UP ON
TOILET PAPER AND MILK!" wackiness.)

Feh. Not any more they don't. Why, just this morning, in
fairly not-blizzarding conditions, with clear and clean roads,
the bozos-on-ice were going all of 35-40 mph. With rare
bursts to 45 mph. And coming home ? In a blizzard ? with
low visibility and slush and blowing snow and ice all over ?
and invisible lane lines ? They were doing 75 ! So maybe
yeah, we can drive on -ice-, just not plain old pavement.
