I will second that message to daisy_knotwise. Yes, yes and yes, you want to hear what's his name and sweetmusic_27 do Ghosts together. You do, you do, you do.
I've been wondering what it is about Iowa that makes everyone keep going about as if nothing has happened when there is an exceptionally heavy snow (or blizzard conditions like happened Sunday)? Other places I've lived, if they didn't want you on the roads, they would declare an emergency ban on travel, and would enforce it. Exceptions made for emergency/essential personel, but otherwise, stay home. It would at least let 'em get the roads sorted without the traffic (and usually would only be for the day of the storm). Here? Well, you dealt with it on the way home Monday :-)
They do shut down the freeways occasionally. Marscon weekend I was stuck for 2 days before I could go.
And I thought about going sunday, but decided against it since it was so bad. I never skidded, was even close to being involved in any sort of accident or any other real problems. The roads were passable, just slow going. As long as a driver was careful, it was ok.
Now the folks upside down in the ditch, they should have not travelled sunday, when it was really bad.
Let's see, in the half-mile between our place and County Home Road, I saw 5 cars off the road yesterday morning (two of them were still there this morning). Oh, and I saw another 10 to 12 off the road as I went down 380 to 30, and east two exits this morning. Six of them were at the exit for Kirkwood Comm. College. Shoulda stayed home, folks!
