[Rhodes22-list] Got Snow Anyone?

[ben]

I woke up Thursday to 2-3 inches on the ground and big, wet, heavy flakes
falling.  I had no idea it was coming, and would have been less surprised to
see the Mississippi river flowing backwards, after threads from last week.
Of course, everything shut down -- we have trucks to spray mosquito poison,
not to spread salt on the roads.

It was reportedly our biggest snowstorm since the 60s.  It's the only one
I've been in town to see.

By the end of the day, it was mostly melted.  It was back up in the 70s
yesterday, so there's no sign of the stuff now, but it was fun for a single
morning.

Slim,
Sounds like a great time to throw in some Greatful Dead music and break out

the wine. Driving in those conditions is never fun. Glad everything went
okey  
dokey and you made it home. Are you sure you don't want to move to South  
Carolina. Temps here this morning are in the 40's and only getting warmer.
 
Rummy

Just got  in from a weekend in Rapid City, SD.  Drove home in a blizzard.
500+  miles of 35-40 mph cross winds, blowing and drifting snow and
"white-outs"  all the way.  Had to detour around a chunk of Interstate 90
that was  closed.  13 hours.  It wasn't that bad until it got dark.   AWD
Astro did the trick though.  Very sure-footed vehicle.   There's another one
we can walk away from!

Love the dog  footage!
