I've basically been snowed in since about the first of February. On the 8th, I received an offer for an urgent, last minute, past deadline shop for SeeLevel. Checked road conditions through the state website, which said "normal driving conditions", so accepted it. Printed it out, got in my car (had to dig the car out of snow), and headed south.
I made it 20 miles in an hour, realized I could never reach the town before the shop window closed (it's 60 miles away, usually a comfy one-hour drive; at 20 MPH on ice-covered streets, would take 3 hours to get there -- and 3 hours to get home! ). I pulled over and took a photo of the ice and snow covered street, covered with ice and snow as far as the eye could see, and immediately sent the photo to the scheduler. Texted her I couldn't make it, too hazardous.
My reward for my efforts?
