ABS question 200 1983

Jessie:

You are correct, I'z be livn down souf... If North Carolina qualifies. Like I said, I haven't driven this combo in snow (or ice for that matter). Why you ask? Simple answer, when the meteorologists predict a snow flurry, schools and businesses automatically close. One other "phenomenon" that occurs when a "flurry event" is predicted, the grocery stores sell out of bread, milk, beer, and cigarettes!

Beyond the "snow flurry", we do get one rather nasty piece of winter weather that is known as an ice storm. I'm talking about three inches of ice forming on trees, power lines, and everything else. The result is that power lines collapse, roads are TOTALLY impassable, and us yokles are lucky if we have a generator and a kerosene heater!

Okay, we are actually Northern Ohio transplants down here in NC reclaiming the land we won in the Civil War (thats called a bad joke down here), so we know what is involved when it comes to driving in "crappy" conditions. That's just one more reason that we moved down here!

Sorry, I have no plans of driving to Ohio in the Winter to test traction and ABS performance. I'll just let an Ohio native that is still living in purgatory report their handling results!
