sallyann nobody wants to drive in adverse weather-conditions but if they have places calgary downtown hotels to be then they'll take the 2% chance that they get in an accident if they drive 60 mph on the freeway rather than going 20km/ph like you and the other grandmas on the road who don't have to be anywhere until the 29th so think nothing of blocking the fast lane and ruining everyone elses day. If you worry about the weather so much than just get snow tires you money-grubber and if you refuse to do that and still want to drive pelase wait until those of us who actually have pleaces to be have reached our destinations calgary downtown hotels please. 2 votes #2.1 - Fri Dec 21, 2012 9:58 AM EST SallyAnn-4595694
LitterHater, calgary downtown hotels you made several false assumptions there slick. I can't be a grandmother, as I haven't had any children yet. Second, the only time I drive 20mph is if the speed zone is set at 20. And I use the fast lane for passing idiots like you that are in front of me in the right hand lane, and shooting their mouths off.
And what makes you think I have to drive on any hwys to get where I'm going? Like I said, you made an a$$ out of yourself with your stupid assumptions. But anyway, Merry Christmas to you. 4 votes #2.2 - Fri Dec 21, 2012 12:43 PM EST headhunter74
hey litterhater, since you think it's ok to do 60 and take a 2% chance of an accident, how about if the other person suffers for it? That may be one of the dumbest calgary downtown hotels posts of all time. #2.3 - Fri Dec 21, 2012 4:34 PM EST pj-965429
The worst thing about driving in snow storms and their aftermath is that there are two kinds of horrible drivers. There are the ones that are overly cautious, sure, but there are also the ones that drive as if the roads are in great shape. They both cause accidents, but I guess I would rather calgary downtown hotels get in a fender bender with the overly calgary downtown hotels cautious driver than get plowed into by the foolish driver (no matter how frustrating the cautious driver is!). 1 vote #2.4 - Fri Dec 21, 2012 6:48 PM EST TFNJ
At 2 AM I was woken up to the wind howling calgary downtown hotels and a shutter bumping against the house. It sounded like when Sandy hit.I thought either we got a surprise storm, or the Mayans were right. LOL. Now I need sleep. 8 votes #3 - Fri Dec 21, 2012 8:14 AM EST Snow-1983346
I had to drive 27 miles to South Plainfield this morning. The wind was horrible and the rain did not make it any better. Driving is the same in NJ regardless if it is a rainy day, snowing or sunshine...Garden State Parkway drivers have no skills. Many of these people should not be on the roads if they cannot operate a vehicle under extreme conditions. They are an accident waiting to happen.
I would love a great snowstorm, however NJ does not like to spend money to prepare for these kinds of storms. They always waiting until the middle of the storm in rush hour after many accidents have already occured. calgary downtown hotels I think they are in cahoots with the Insurance Companies around the state. I grew up in NH, snowfall is no different there just a longer season of it. Yet with the abundance of snow they always seem to keep the highways free and clear. I just want snow in NJ to cover up the garbage along the road ways and highways. Welcome to the Garbage State...I calgary downtown hotels mean, Garden State!! Actually they should call it the Eggplant State since they grow 2/3rds of the world's eggplant. 1 vote #3.2 - Fri Dec 21, 2012 9:34 AM EST Will-1091847
Nah - I think the "Armpit of America" is sufficient. Never been to a place in New Jersey that I liked. calgary downtown hotels My least favorite place on planet Earth is Newark, NJ. And to be more specific, my least favorite place in Newark is the Airport Econo Lodge, a little slice of hell that made the top ten dirtiest hotels in America on Tripadvisor.
Unrelated, I would make a minor obsevation about this story - the expression "lashed" is such an overused cliche when it comes to describing the impact of a storm. 3 votes #3.3 - Fri Dec 21, 2012 9:48 AM EST Julles50

as a road warrior i can name thousands calgary downtown hotels of motels like that, why disparage any ones home state? what Utopian place do you live BTW? care to elaborate? 3 votes #3.5 - Fri Dec 21, 2012 9:55 AM EST sj555
What part of Airport Econo Lodge did you think meant it rivaled a Ritz Carlton or the W? You get what you pay for. I would think it quite ignorant to judge a whole state based on one of its poorer, albeit improving, areas. I live in a beautiful town in NJ, and resent your generalization. It would be like judging all of PA on the rough parts of Philly, or all of MI on Detroit. The jokes citing "armpit of America" are tired.
Julles - I emphatically agree. If you hate it, don't live here. These are certainly the people that give NJ the bad reputation anyway, conveying their misery and negativity when speaking about any subjects. calgary downtown hotels I have never seen someone get so negative about being a top producer of eggplants. 4 votes #3.6 - Fri Dec 21, 2012 10:01 AM EST Janine-1645002
Will, I remember when my son got out of basic training and was given his first orders. calgary downtown hotels My ex called calgary downtown hotels me and told me that he was being stationed in the Armpit of the world. My first response was "Jersey?"
jullieann the new jersey highway system is a little bit more complex/ extensive than hickville U.S.A.s so I think you should havea little bit of understanding when it comes to how difficult clearing off three feet of snow is from the garden state parkway, the jerrsey turnpike, etc.. If you're really that upsert about it though then go and buy snow tires or a car with four-wheel drive and then the minor amount of snow that falls before the highway authority has a chance to get to it won't inconvenience you so much. also stop tailgatting people who are already going ten miles over the speed limit please because you're no doubt one of those types too. 2 votes #3.8 - Fri Dec 21, 2012 10:09 AM EST TFNJ
I agree with Scooter. If you decided to visit and stay by a ghetto, then that's calgary downtown hotels your problem. I live in a nice quiet neighborhood not far from the shore and love it here. If you don't like it, get out. I'm certainly not gonna miss you. LOL

maybe if you invested some money into the trenton school-systems rather than letting it be a place where young minds go to die than she wouldn't have to complain but since she was born to two alcoholic welfare-line workers who obviosuly didn't care anything about her education she was forced to go there and look what happened. I'm surprised that she even has the intelligence to type nbsnews.com into the internet explorer and post here, i once saw a drop-out from trenton's school-system using a melted snickers-bar as sunscreen even though i
