Chicago drivers were worse - wouldn't let you change lanes
Sorry, I don't understand the concept of "letting someone change lanes". Do you mean "forcing your way into another lane while listening to the horn of the cars behind you"? ;P

Will Thursday be at "work from home" snow day? Oh wait, we've all been working from home since March! :laugh:

Have you ever considered migrating south for the winter?

After the kids are out of school, my wife and I will most likely move somewhere more hospitable, for sure. Words cannot describe how much I dislike this winter climate. At least I am working from home and do not have to drive in this weather to get to work; very dangerous driving conditions.
I moved from Vermont to Virginia to escape the snow and now it is snowing here. Ugh.

Maybe taking the long route via the mediterranean and using the Tagliamento river? :-\
You should know even better than me what the weather and the sea is like on that route at this time of the year. You guys are not the Vikings! :-)
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Snow is perfectly fine when the snow is dry, it is five to ten degrees below freezing and staying there! The terrible conditions are when it temperature swings around freezing all the time - slush, ice, ice cold rain ... Zero is actually a lot colder than ten below! Besides, when it "warms" up, the winds come. I'd much rather take a calm day with the sun shining from a deep blue sky at twenty to twentyfive degrees below zero, and dry snow plowed two meters high, than slushy streets with cars spraying all over you, and the ice cold rain is going right into your bones at two degrees plus.

One reason I left that part of NY when I graduated high school. (A dying economy being the main reason.)

yep, only in chicago. In every other city in the US you turn on your turn signal and eventually someone will let you over. Not Chicago
To err is human to really elephant it up you need a computer
You have clearly never driven in eastern Massachusetts. A turn signal is considered a sign of weakness. It's how we can tell the out-of-staters from the Massh*les. If you don't tailgate, someone WILL try and get between you and the next car. If a car CAN be fit between two other cars, it WILL be fit between two other cars. Regardless of the prevailing speed of the cars on the roadway. 75mph in bumper-to-bumper traffic on Rte 128 and that BMW will barely fit ? He's coming in your lane. Close the gap if you don't want that to happen. If you drive less than 15 mph slower than the posted speed limit in the left lane, you WILL be passed on the right in very short order. And get a single-finger message in the bargain. If you can't be passed on the right, well there's always the shoulder, or the breakdown lane. Or extreme tailgating.
