State of emergency declared in New Jersey, Delaware

5 inches of snow in Philly and southern New Jersey.
Brutally cold. Snow supposed to stop at 1am.

A state of emergency? What does that mean? Are people not allowed to drive on the roads or something? I remember one winter I was in Buffalo and it snowed a lot. They said that you could not go driving on the roads unless it was an emergency.

When it's a state of emergency you can't drive down the road unless it's an emergency?

"But officer! I HAVE to drive down this road! It's an emergency!"

"I'm sorry, ma'am, you can't drive on this road! This is a state of emergency."

"THAT'S WHAT I SAID! It's a, a, a, a STATE OF EMERGENCY!"

"Ma'am, I'm warning you, do not argue with me! :argue: This is a STATE OF EMERGENCY."

How can you have a "state of emergency" in Delaware?

Just walk to the next state and you'll be fine.

All you folks out in Cali, can come over here and bring some pickup trucks -- we're offering free, all the snow you ever wanted!

All you have to do is load it up and bring it back!

How about you load up your trucks and bring it over, then you can take truckloads of sunshine back with you on the return trip.

Oh, that's 3,000 miles at what, 19 mpg, and $3 a gallon, equals what, 815 gallons for $2,445 round trip! Such a deal for some sunshine! And you get to unload some snow in the bargain! But you can save a LOT by stopping in New Mexico or Arizona, where it's just as sunny these days. AND the gas is cheaper. It's going for $3.60 all around town in L.A. :whistleblower:

I'd love that sunshine, but you know what they say about California drivers. Don't think our folks would be brave enough to make that trip. :rolleyes:

There's always sunny Florida!
