Default MinneSNOWTA morning driving (snow)

I drove in one of the worst road conditions that our country as a whole has ever had. All because my stupid private school didn't close... Only 1 out of 2 school districts open today... I have some amazing video of it, I even witnessed a city bus sitting in a ditch.... I'll post some after school.

Thats what I was driving in on m way to school!! with Ice ruts underneath!!! Honestly one of the scariest things of my life... I was safe in my truck but I wasn't worried about me, I was worried about the people around me losing control.

Yeah, I took that picture about 2 or 3 hrs before it stopped dumping, the next moring I put in in 4x4 to give a friend a ride to work cause her car was too small. She laughed when I pulled up to her house and the snow was half way up my tires.

Then I had to go home and shovel.... not impressed

Jeez, I can't imagine, its 72 degrees here right now in Memphis. Its funny, I was born in Illinois, so I am somewhat used to the snow, but anytime it snows down here, people go nuts. There can be less than 2 inches on the ground, and people freak out and buy bread and milk.

Wow. Pretty bad here to. 71 degrees, slight overcast. I might have to put on a
sweatshirt, I'm feeling a slight chill.

Yup, must be a southern thing. I remember a few years back that they cancelled the city schools the night before in "anticipation" of snow. Naturally, nothing happened and school kids had a free day.
