Walked a kilometer home, got the quad and a shovel, went back and tried for a while but no luck. Going to grab a quick snooze and head back out in a couple hours to try and figure something out to get unstuck. By then my truck will probably be buried in snow.

Butters, it is no fun being stuck in snow, once you get high centered, you just start digging.

It was just over 100 cars, 100 injured no one killed. Never believe first reporting, it's always wrong

Had to use a tractor to get pulled out of the snow. Had some business at the fire station this afternoon, then this evening I slapped the blade on the quad and got to work. It was tough going but a quad with a blade does great work and I got enough cleared to get through with my truck. Hopefully the grader comes soon and opens the road up properly.
