This!
Bingo -- your first sentence says it all. She sounds like a horror show -- and I've known some bosses (temporary or not) who were awful. I think Lilofan had some good advice for you on this one.I honestly think she doesn't believe I'm important enough to be scheduled. I also think she thinks she's my boss. So we're going to have a little calm and professional conversation clarifying that neither one is the case and that if this situation isn't working, I'll be discussing it with my actual boss.
That is true; they only make a difference in the snow. No tires work on ice. -- except, studded tires. They're actually legal in my state from the end of November to April 1.
If you have a front wheel drive car rear studded tyres are redundant.
I'm sure you're correct on that. (I was just quoting what I read.) We've never had studded tires ourselves, so I had to look up the current information, as an fyi only.
And they mostly don't. Those that do and are driving with bald tires on snow, we can afford to lose.I've seen Carolinas drivers in the rain. Y'all have no business driving when there's any type of snow outside.
It doesn't take anywhere near that much snow in the "south" to shut things down completely. We had a 10" snow storm the day after Christmas in 2010 when I was here spending the holidays with my family. I had billions of dollars of highways and streets all to myself. The following winter, after I moved here, we had a little over half and inch and it was the same reaction. The schools were closed for a week.
Snow tires are made of softer compound material and thereby better on ice. Is it a sure fire way to drive on ice without anything happening ? No . One guy I know survived a winter in NY by driving on summer tires. He drove on them in his new car because the tires came with the car from the factory. Not a smart idea to take that chance.
There are no tire types that make any difference on ice, not even studded are much help and it doesn't matter how many wheel drive one has. Ice will win every time.
Just read (various sources) that dispute that.
So it's NOT just my MIL who does this?? It drove me crazy!! And when I asked her to stop, she said "But it's so much handier this way!!" No....no it's not. She put all the things that I use daily in a closet in the entrance hallway and moved things from the pantry into the cupboards that I never use. It took me weeks to find everything!
Didn't they destroyed that show-restaurant in the poly recently?
Don’t we know it!I've seen Carolinas drivers in the rain. Y'all have no business driving when there's any type of snow outside.
East is worse than the mtns. Even my DD says that
Passed with a 3.5+
They might help to keep one on the road as long as nothing happens. Touch the brakes even lightly and you will be in a ditch just like regular tires. Any unplanned movement will be trouble. Driving slowly on icy roads may work but you are not in control on ice. Only ourselves think we are in control but that control can disappear in a New York minute. Studded tires might help you dig your way down to pavement but all the conditions have to be just right. Otherwise, the only safe thing is to stay off the roads until sand or salt trucks have had a chance to get through. Sometimes tire chains might be helpful but they are hard to find and even harder to put on. On top of that many states have outlawed studded tires due to the damage they have done to the asphalt so if you are going to travel that could create a problem. Snow is forgiving, ice is not.
I swear I will never understand those weird scores they use in many countries that makes no sense.Nursing school is officially over!
State test should be late next month.
Booked 2 nights at WDW next week for my bday. Our anniversary cruise is 4 days after we get back.
Reading stories and getting spooked about getting covid at WDW and missing the cruise.
Obviously it’s possible, but we are very careful. We’re staying in a cabin vs. a hotel. We’re only doing 1 park day, and it will be mostly Epcot for food & wine (outdoors) plus a hop to HS to see Julie at Tune-In, and the since it’s open really late, possibly MK at night.
We’ll wear KN95 masks indoors & on indoor attractions/queues but probably won’t even go on too many. Targeting: Ratatouille, CoP, and whatever is available as a walk-on at MK at night.
Had no issues in New Orleans with a similar strategy. But considering canceling WDW to protect the cruise. Thoughts?
To be even more confusing, my high school used 1-4 in backwards order - so a 1 was the best! College admissions departments had trouble with that. I was a straight 1 student lol.
Woohoo!!! Congrats with the nursing school finish! I"m sure he will knock the state test out of the park!!Nursing school is officially over!
