Thanks for that. I never stopped to consider ice falling off the cable
stays. Yikes!

Question: How do you drive across icy bridges in Charleston?
Answer: You don't. They close the bridges, so everyone stays home.
The big problem last Winter was the Ravenel Bridge and two ice storms
within two weeks. The City had acquired brine trucks, so the roadbed was
cleared quickly, but the ice on the cable stays kept crashing down for
three days, so they couldn't reopen until it cleared. They discussed
installing a heater system prior to construction but decided it was too
expensive for the few times it would be used.

Well, I've gotta admit that you've got that right. Ask Charlie what it's
like to drive across the bridges in Charleston with freezing rain on the
steel grids they use for road bed in some places. You can't put salt on
it... even if they had any.

Guys, I lived in Buffalo for 2 years and your stories do not scare
us...snow is much scarier in places like Atlanta where people do not know
how to drive in it.
Cheers,

Two feet only :-)
We had upwards of six of snow in our backyard for about four months last
winter. The snow blower did overtime and the shovel complained !

And greatest snow depth is found on the south side of Buffalo where
Moses is. It could be 2 feet there when 30 miles north it's 6".

My daughter during the drive from Newburgh, NY where we spent the
night
at
a cheap motel. We stopped to buy some snacks at a Tops supermarket
somewhere in upstate New York, and I took a quick portrait of my

next to our rented car:
