ice is real slippery on roads when the temps are around freezing but not so much when way down low.
if you have proper tires and front wheel drive or all wheel drive the snow which is getting plowed should not be a real problem.
as long as you drive at safer speeds and distance from others. if scared stay home of course.

I'm so excited. I started looking up table covers, premium balls sets (unsure if I should go with Aramith or Dynapsheres)
A table vacuum cleaner thingy, a ball polisher. Also need to invest in some Taom chalk so I don't leave chalk marks on the table and carpet.

What are some other things someone may need for a pool table at home?

A roomba style vacuum is about $100 and almost worth it's weight in gold. A brush is kind of a waste of time as it doesn't clean the table and just makes chalk clouds for you to breath. No use using a hand vac when the "robot" will do it for you, even at the end of a set with the lights off.

As far as balls, I'm a huge fan of Dynaspheres but you can't go wrong with those or Aramith. There are a bunch of good Aramith sets but I'm partial to Centennials.

Thanks! Hopefully it plays well. I'm sure I'll be content, even though it's a furniture table and not as fancy as a Diamond.

Any recommendations for pool table accessories that are a necessity for home?

I bought a cheap nylon cover, magic rack, glove and Aramith ball cleaner from Amazon. The cover fits right.

go do it you have my support although i think it is wasted money,

but if you are one of those that come on here and say gambling at pool is bad and gamblers are hustlers and bad people, and you go and gamble away your money on this pool game then you are just a hypocrite who tries to justify his own actions.

I will double down on an earlier post. You can never have enough outlets in a shop. I thought I went overboard and found out I could use even more.

If we're showing pics of our balls . . . my very old Anniversary. Plenty of challenge and enjoyment for me!

Sounds like it is going to be real bad . . .

Down here we have a rule concerning boats, sailing, and storms: "It is one thing to be out and get caught in it, but it's entirely another to put out knowing it's out there." Folks in the second category get help but little sympathy.

We teach this to our kids somewhat differently when they begin running out to the islands laying 12 miles south of here: "If a squall is making up, never try to beat the weather and cross in front of the squall. If you are safe, stay safe." (Those anvil- headed "purple people eater" clouds tell you all you need to know.)

Just a reminder -- y'all know what to do -- just do it.

And, have a good time when you do get there.
