looking into a 4x4 tacoma/small truck or maybe a small 4x4 SUV. almost have the Z bought, guess ill keep a car payment.
As for summer SC has regular 100 dergee days with 100% humidity so i should feel right at home.

 

Since it's SNOWING in SC, I thought I might ask this while I'm thinking of it. How well can you guys get around in the snow up that way? We get a few inches and everything shuts down hear! I know snow is fairly common, but are certain counties better at clearing and maintaining the roads than others? Also do the public transport run in the snow invade I get a job closer to DC.
Thanks for all your help, can't wait to move.

If we get 0-12 inches it normally gets cleared off within a few hours. 12+ inches it depends on how good SHA does (state highway admin)

For the most part I've never been snowed in for more then a day.

As far as normal snow fall. 0-6 inches. It doesn't faze me it just pisses me off how everyone else can't drive. It's one thing to drive fast with no one around, its one thing to drive slow with people around, its best to drive fast with a lot of distance between each car like 10+ car lengths however everyone drives slow and tail gates..... best of both worlds.

 

**** in the face in Bowie? HA! not gonna happen. Stuff gets stolen every so often but thats it. Don't hear too much about murders...atleast I think...

 

Ok so basically it sounds like the south driving styles but with snow. I just don't want to sell my z in order to get a car that can handle MD winter. I have a year to pay off my z and save as much cash for a MD winter car. Guess I'm going to work as many Side jobs as I can for a year.


I'm thinking were going to visit ellocot city (sp?) When it gets warmer. My faience has an uncle who lives there. I'm sure we don't want to be that far from her work/close to her uncle. But atleast we will
get a chance to look around.

 

ellicott city is a good area. I have a lot of friends in that area, lots close by and its convenient.

 

i agree ellicot city is a very nice area

 

How far of a drive is it from ellicot city to Laurel??

 

http://distancecalculator.globefeed....r.asp?state=MD

 

like wyziwyg said find the mileage, the routes from ellicot city to laurel are all pretty decent as far as traffic goes except for 295 you want to avoid that as much as possible.

 

It's not that far at all.

@Barn, you still sick man? Just saw on FB Hraes caught some bug too. Praying I don't catch this crap.....

 

Im allot better but still not 100% nicole stayed home sick today and had only gotten out of bed for the bathroom all day

jake has a cough but isnt really sick.

On facebook about 10 other people are sick/just getting over it. So its a pretty bad thing going around.

 

Thanks for the help guys, if ya got any more suggestions PLEASE keep them coming. It doesn't look like housing will be a problem.
But me finding a job is what I'm concerned with.

 

What type of job are you looking for??

 

I currently work for the Greenville City Police, and would like to do Federal Law Enforcement, or State Police.

 

county police here have great salaries and good programs for lateral transfers. look into howard county or anne arundel county. those are the two best larger departments and closest drive.

 

Thanks, I'll check it out

 

depending on what licenses you have/ what you have to do to get a MD license. My CSM in my army unit is pretty high up in the Rockville city police department which is primarily a community policing type of department due to low crime, small area, and high demand for police involvement in the community.

If you can get into one of the larger departments and get state qualified I can see what I can do to set you up with his department (they only accept lateral transfer within the state)

 

That's exactly what I'm looking for. I'm going to try contacting some departments after the new year. Hopefully I will only need to do legal updates to transfer to MD. I will definitely be in touch.
Thanks
Kevin
