Re: Took out a bird on my way to work today

Okay, I added another reason to wear a face shield today. I drove thru sleet for 30 minutes just below Dalton, Georgia this morning. It cleared off for the last 1/2 hour of my ride and just as I put the bike inside my shop it started snowing here. We've got over 3" on the ground now and it's still coming down, I know that's nothing for you Northerner's but we southerners just aren't set up for this kind of weather. The highways here are almost shut down, especially where they cut thru the ridges and over bridges. Cars sliding all over the place on the DOT traffic camera's, and most of the roads up the local mountains are closed. Mont Eagle Mountain (I-24) between Chattanooga and Nashville, is a big sheet of ice right now.
