Driving home from work was a nightmare this morning and it's a good thing I know how to recover from spinning. Good thing I took that stunt drving class.

Glad you made it home!!!

I am home... my roads haven't been scraped... And now we've got a couple more inches of snow... WOW!

I'm glad I did. On the way home, I saw two cars and a pick up truck in a ditch.

Oi! I didn't catch Julian's post about the drive home. I've sorta forgotten about snow/iced roads honestly... They suck, that's about all I remember. I miss snow, but, eh, I'll pass on the iced roads.

Yeah, a couple years ago we had a heavy snow here right before Christmas and my grandson had to go into a hospital in Portland. I had to both transport him and his grandsom through a lot of terrain to the hospital but I then had to fetch my daughter and drive all across the urban residention part of Portland. Three times I ended up sliding, spinning then stuck in snow drifts and needed strangers help to push and pull my car out -- made it through the day without doing any damage though.

It never fails here....we have a big snow and we start having a rash of house fires. The local department is on their second working house fire in less than an hour. This is not a great night to be a firefighter....20 degrees....60mph wind gusts and sustained 30mph winds. Wind chills approaching -30 degrees.

I'm sure there's ice under it all but right now... my roads are nothing but snow! We've not even seen the plow!

Never fails! Thoughts are with them.... I got a scanner for Christmas!!!! I've been listening to the road crews all evening... they're having a tough time as well... been a great Christmas to get a scanner that is for sure!

I remember that too.

I didn't know it was that bad over on the west Dan. I haven't been keeping up on the weather the whole day.

It's pretty bad when one of our main 4 lane roads was still white into late this afternoon.... The road I live on hasn't seen a plow at all.... and the snow started yesterday morning...

Well apparently the snow plow drivers are all meeting at Denny's a midnight LOVE my new scanner!!!

It's an uber fancy one... I think it's digital.... I do know it will run trunking and conventional scanning at the same time... I have a LOT to learn about it... Dad said it is quite complicated and he just quickly entered a few frequencies for me Christmas day! LOL So I am hoping while I'm off work to get some of it figured out and more of it programmed... When my dad says it's complicated... I know it's going to be a pretty steep learning curve for me... he's programmed his own personal scanners for years... LOL

Depending on where you are, snow ranges from 8-18 inches....some of the higher elevations have in excess of 2 feet....throw in the high winds and you have a most unpleasant night.
