OT - Wes, snowed in?
How are you doing up there, Wes? The weather map suggests that you got both
the big storm and some lake-effect snow, with hellish winds causing whiteouts. Everything OK? -- Ed Huntress |

Yesterday I drove into work via the Braille method. One wheel on the center rumble cuts while I looked out the side window to see where the other side of the road was. Looking out the windshield was pretty useless except for figuring clearances between me and oncoming traffic. Half way, I got passed by a pickup, I thought cool, something to follow. That lasted two miles until he stopped to pull someone out of the ditch. Shortly after, I caught up to a 4x4 and he pulled over to let me go by. I was really hoping he would play lead dog for a while. Made it to work on time. Today was better. It was calm during my drive time in and it was still daylight during periods of poor visibility due to blowing snow on my way home. I'm home, drive way snow blown open again, car pointed the right way for leaving in the morning. This really isn't Saturn SL weather.

I hate driving in whiteouts, something that happened to me often in Michigan, particularly when I drove up to Boyne Highlands to go skiing. And I was driving an MG Midget in those days. It could have gotten lost in the tread pattern of the snow blower trucks. d8-) -- Ed Huntress |

Wes When I used to drive to work instead of walking out to the shop as I do now I preferred my Buick Century to my Chev PU 4X4 in nasty weather. The only time I took the pickup is when the snow was so deep the car would drag bottom and just wouldn't go. I am glad we just got a dusting from the storm but it did screw up my steel order. The sheets of steel that were to transfer from Dodge Center to Fargo are still down there. Steve |
