In Finland we call days like these either monday, or tuesday.

2 inches of snow?lmao that's barely wet roads.😂🌨

"we weren't scared, the car was gonna work..." *laughs in range rover*

Ed: “Because we knew we had enough gas, and the car was going to work.” Every Range Rover ever: “Them’s fightin words, son!”

The story of my SLOWEST over the road driving average

Most employers: "You're still coming in right?"

Is it just me.... Or does every one of Ed's stories involve a waffle House at some point?? 🤣

As a fellow GA resident, I surely remember the "snowmaggedon" lmao. I was in my sophomore year of highschool, and pretty much everyone didn't make it home except for my bus. Fortunately my bus had a driver that was used to driving in this kind of weather, and we made it home just fine. Everyone else however, either had to sleep over at the school, or wait for their parents to barely be able to pick them up. After I made it home, I hopped on my ATV and had a hell of a day. Doing doughnuts all over the street, driving my friends place to place, snow sledding off of my big ass driveway, man that was a fun time.

Yea we don't do snow too well here in the south hahahaha. Side note. We just listened to 12 minutes of Ed talking about being in traffic. That's testament to his story telling abilities

Watching southerners drive in the snow. Priceless.

Rob Pitts voice“This is a Rover”

Southern snow storms. God's way of entertaining us Yankees in January.

“A dumpster fire of a driving experience” Lmaoooooooo

2in of snow 😂 In Canada people are still going 120kph with that on the road with a timmies in our hands haha

I’m from upstate New York and it is very fun to listen to how southerners react to winter weather

It was so bad Kimmie had a jacket on 😂. Great vid. Remember this one well .

Lol being an upstate New Yorker this is funny to listen to😂😂

As a Canadian, I find this story hilarious. Your icepocalypse is what we would call a light dusting.

Midwesterners laughing everywhere

Omg an inch of snow! I live in Wisconsin and I drove through Atlanta during a dusting of snow and it was insane! I never knew so many ppl could have no common sense. Ppl either drove 4 mph on the interstate or 90, neither is proper etiquette in snow

I'm from northern Canada so this is hilarious to listen too

I consider myself lucky, and was well prepared for that day. Something told me to prepare for inclement weather that morning. We were dismissed from work about 1:00pm that afternoon, I stayed and ate my lunch that I had brought with me that day. Listening to coworkers and reports that the roads were getting clogged with people going nowhere. My belly was full and I left Kennesaw at 1:30. After traveling about a half mile I abandoned my vehicle at 3:05pm in a Rooms To Go parking lot and walked home down US 41 south 7 miles. I made it home at 5:30pm. Truly an apocalyptic scene passing hundreds if not thousands of vehicles just sitting idling not going anywhere. I will never forget that day.

Lol I was a freshman in Hs when this happened there were literally people stranded on 285 because of 2inches of snow. Many people abandoned their cars until roads were salted and Ice was melted

I’m surprised this isn’t about, Ed drifting his Lamborghini in the snow.

You know ur from the south when they talk about "Scraping the Roads"

I was one of those National Guard guys, hahahaha

God: I have 2 inchs of more snow, imma put it on atlanta Atlanta: AHHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHHHHHHHHHHHH SNOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Need to come up to Michigan in January and drive some back roads where the plows don't come

Bolian and Pitts 2020

I love how he has photo evidence for every story

One of my favourite stories so far!

Great story! I can say, with some authority, it will be a VERY long time before this happens again. I’m a meteorology major, and have been a storm chaser for the better part of 25 years. The weather event that generated this story was a hot topic of discussion within the professional weather enterprise for the rest of that year. After this event in the southeast, the National Weather Service office in Birmingham, AL, then headed by Meteorologist-In-Charge Jim Stefkovich, began a dialogue and a closer working relationship with the Alabama DOT so forecasters working shifts and issuing public forecasts can better understand the ice accretion process on roadways under colder-than-normal conditions for the region. This has been in effect copied by other NWS offices in the southeast, and there is now a much better understanding of the conditions that generate flash freezes on roads. Sorry for the long comment, but it is very rare that the two things I’m most passionate about, weather and cars, comes to the surface.

Driving though Atlanta any day of the week isn’t much better

Ed just described a regular winter day in Chicago

Living in Pittsburgh PA myself, I’m here to tell you that when it starts to freezing rain, followed by a dusting of snow, even in northern areas that are prepared for it, it is one of the worst driving situations ever. So I can understand a city that just flat out isn’t prepared to even think about it going down hill quickly in that situation.

I spent 13.5 hours in a car that day. Drove 7 miles... left work at 12:30PM and got home at 2 am after wrecking and walking home a mile.

Range rover should be paying you for this video

Here in New Hampshire 2" of snow on the road barely even catches our attention. It's fascinating to see what an impact this kind of weather has on people in places where it's not normal weather so there's no real preparation for it. Kudos to Ed for his acts of kindness during this crisis. We all know he's an awesome guy, and this proves it!

I live in Bulgaria and when I was a kid i used to do 150km/h (94mp/h) on the main road to Serbia during my first winter driving in 10 cm snow (about 4 inches) and I cound feel and counter every slide. Thats why it's unbelievable to me to hear tons of people unable to go uphill on a highway.

Indeed.. my dad had to pick my mom up on 285 using a four wheeler.

My favorite part of this video is when he says it’ was only 2 inches of snow😂😂

having spent all 21 years of my life in Minnesota and now going to university in North Dakota, I find this incredibly funny. If we get 2 feet of snow up here in a blizzard they MIGHT delay classes for a couple hours

Its genuine entertainment as a northerner watching southerners struggle with whats to us an average winter day

I definitely have this day etched in my memory, it took me 11 hours to get home. Everywhere inside of 285 was complete insanity.

Ed is a Good Man! Not everyone will tell a story knowing that 90% of the comments are gonna be from those making fun of you and your neighbors.

Awesome you went back out to help others!

Such good memory, i need to get my story telling skills up to par.

Hearing this story makes me glad that im from Norway and had to learn how to drive in terrible winter storms and extremely cold weather

We saw this from MN and had a pretty good chuckle.

2 inches of snow is just a light dusting here in Michigan.

Me: *looks out the window* Only 2 inches of snow Me: Where the F is the rest of the snow?

A VinWiki story a day keeps the police at bay

These are the kinds of stories that get laughs from those of us who are northeast born-and-raised. :P But at the end of the day, it's a whole different ballgame when you're not prepared for it, like we are. Thanks for sharing, Ed!

Southerners speaking about winter reminds me of a video of Quebec guys watching a France news report about 2cm of snow and how roads will be paralyzed for a week. I was cracking up because over here we have to deal with insane amounts of snow, so it’s always hilarious to listen to

I remember this day vividly. Great time in Atlanta

Every time I'm reminded that Ed is a dad I automatically wonder if the next generation is also establishing "Bolian clauses" because they keep finding ways around the teachers' rules.

Last time I was this early Ed was renting exotics from his college dorm.

Crazy he was able to sell a lambo in that situation

Drove an Infiniti g35 to and all over Vermont multiple times going snowboarding in the middle of winter on summer tires really dont understand how this was so bad

New Ed!! The day is now complete!

"The roads are bad so let's take the highway" Never understood this logic.

Great video Ed

Awesome story Ed

It sound like a range Rover commercial lol

As someone who has lived in Michigan my whole life, I love hearing southerners talk about snow 😂

Ed, it was precisely the same issue here in the Birmingham area of Bama. It took me roughly 10 hours to get home from work that day, with some of that time spent helping rescue people, push cars, stopping at a shelter to regroup with family, etc. But it was definitely one day that will live on in history. Lots of people just don't realize that down here in the South, we don't have snow and ice enough to have the infrastructure of ice preparedness, such as sand or salt trucks, snow plows, and so on. Thankful for all the good people that helped that day, though

I’m not sure what I love more about this channel, the car stories or the fact a lot of these are based out of Atlanta which is like my backyard

ATL looked liked the road to Baghdad ! 😬 Tennessee is the same way as Georgia with snow. I remember as a kid they would cancel school if it was snowing in Arkansas.

"We weren't scared cause we knew we had enough gas" -said nobody in a land rover ever

That Land Rover being the best 4x4 by far joke was hilarious

I didn't grow up in Georgia, but went to school in Savannah. I was connecting through the Atlanta airport on my way back to Savannah. This was mid January 2011 and I happen to be in the first plane to be grounded in the rare snowstorm. One place ahead in the line of planes and we would have taken off. I fell asleep on the plane (something I never do) and woke up thinking we were in Savannah when, in fact, I was stuck in Atlanta. Ended up being 3 days of sleeping in the airport. After our next planned flight was cancelled too, me and about 8 other people at the gate pooled together and rented a couple cars and drove back to Savannah. I now live in Utah and that same amount of snow does nothing to us. We just go about our day.

Coming from Montreal, I can’t stop laughing at this. I’m sorry 😂

I literally saw a camel on the side of the highway during one of the PA snow storms

Damn, that’s Southern hospitality at it’s finest. Well done helping out. Your an amazing storyteller, and a smile to boot. People in the prairies here in Canada laugh at us on the west coast because snow snarls traffic for us. They can laugh because the only hill they see is when the snow is piled up, or the road salt mountain.

New best line..... “Dumpster-fire of a driving experience “ !!!!! Lol I literally had to stop the video and replay it HAHAHA 😂

I find this so hilarious, being from Indiana, where we normally get 5-8 inches of snow and maybe an inch of ice in January, and last year the temperature dropped to -35 Fahrenheit.

Anchorage, AK here... I have no words for this just crying laughing emojis so have some of those 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 2 inches 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Me and the family will be rocking Vinwiki gear at Cruising the Coast 2019, love the videos

as someone thats plowed my 05 subaru impreza through 12+ inches of snow on many occasions, just cuz thats what you do when you gotta get to work in Michigan. i still love this story and i remember hearing about it on the news and facebook and its great to hear this invigorating story from somebody who was there first hand! it also goes to show how infrastructure is is a huge factor as well as winter driving experience. more or less explains why it was so bad down there glad you made it hone safe that night!!

You know what you call that in Chicago just a regular afternoon in the winter

Great story as always! I have a question for you Ed. When you record a story, who are you talking to?!

Great story!

I remember Ft Benning shutting down due to snow in the winter of '92-'93...got in the Ford LTD 2D & cut fresh tracks all over the place...lol I hope y'all have a great day & be safe.

Ed: “We picked up two girls in work out clothes”. Honey I promise there was no one else to help them 😏.

You are the man Ed. I remember being in Atlanta when that happened. Luckily for me I was driving a Land Cruiser and had no issues.

ed I loved how you slip little tid bits in your stories! This video delivered as well, with you telling us your wife never has fuel in your vehicle. lol.

I remember this day well. Absolute pandemonium. I made the decision to leave my car in the safety of the parking deck at work and walk 10 miles home to Dunwoody. It was one of the best decisions of my life. It was very decent of you to go back and rescue those school kids.

Half the reason we love Ed's stories is that we know he is the exception to the rule of Used Car Salesmen. Your a good man, Ed.

We do have Salt trucks. The best time to rob a bank. My 4x4 Tahoe was amazing.

This is gold! I’m a Southerner as well but live in the mountains of Tennessee so snow and ice isn’t too awfully foreign to us.

Again, Ed Bolian is the most interesting man in the world. Awesome stories as always.

Man that sounds like every day weather in Canada, gotta love hearing about southerners

"the whole world laughs" ... Apart from the UK. We silently nod in sympathy. We know your pain. :) I am more prepared with a set of Crossclimates on my Focus now though for that day we get every few years. :)

Love this. I daily drove a 02 VW Jetta TDI that was slammed on summer tires and had 250 HP and never had one problem living here in icy and snowy North Dakota

As someone who has both lived in the north and south. I can tell you winter is completely different down here. Gotta love it when it ices before the snow hits

Wow I was here before the alert hit

“Scraping the road” We call it plowing, not scraping.

Great Videos

Ed, I'm from KC, where we're not unaccustomed to snow and ice, so it's easy for me to find the humor in stories like this. I did find myself in Dallas the first week of January, I believe '91 when they got over an inch of ice. A friend and I were headed down to his dad's house because it had been unbearably cold at home and Dallas had been a balmy 59. We figured we go down, fire up the hot tub and invite some girls over. Our first night there it started to hail, then then it turned into a winter mix with rain and quickly started freezing up on the streets. Within a couple of hours, the city was at a standstill. I couldn't believe it when the news started reporting businesses closures; back home you had school closures, everyone else was expected to find a way to work. We were there four days, and on the drive home, the streets were still covered and those that ventured out were inevitably spinning out on the intestate and ending up in the median. I'd never seen anything like it before. Needless to say, we never fired up the hot tub, but my buddy did get a couple girls from the neighborhood to come over, so the trip wasn't a complete loss!
