The surprise snowstorm

…there are moments when the weather catches you off guard..

Those surefire times when the rain is pelting your car windshield.. and your drive north on the highway of your choice becomes colder.. dicier.. snowier..

That was the experience across The coal region on Sunday for countless motorists who decided that the early morning rain would stay rain. It did not.

Instead it became a hard hitting snowstorm of brief but epic proportions! Five inches in some areas fell within an hour.. The aftermath included snow covered highways and byways filled with danger and misery

And finally this:

If your tires were not ready, it became an immediate disaster!

Even though it was slightly beautiful amidst the slow motion shitshow that developed..

If your car (or your brain) is not ready for this, get ready.. it’s here.

Christmas is just around the corner..

And with it comes white knuckled life scenes reminiscent of FINAL DESTINATION..

Get snow tires to limit the possibilities..

Thanksgiving only within hours!
