Not So Pro 3

I'd move.

lol nope this is the first year in about 10 years that we had a good accumulation of snow
Last time it was wet snow and I had between 28 and 32 inches of snow
They had roads shut down for a week here

You said you are too poor to move. Which is it ?

You know how rich folk say they can’t afford anything but then it shows up

How much snow up on the plateau?

You mean up north ?

Looks like we got 2.5" of snow. It looked like more last night. I guess that couple hours of sleet packed it down some. Currently 25 degrees with a high of 37 and a low of 15 tonight.

Only a dusting here. Weatherman missed the .25 freezing rain. No outages on the grid map this morning

Is that a single axle, or tandem axle plow truck? I had a tandem axle, and considered an emergency vehicle, would load it up with about 14 yards of sand/salt (80/20%) mix for weight. Rarely had to lock it in.

The only single axle plow trucks here are used on the smaller, narrower gravel township roads. All state and county are tandems.

My township decided last year that they will not send out the plows unless there's a minimum of 4" of snow.
Which means that the school busses and my daughter in her pos Chevy Cruze can hog through snow better than 90% of people south of Wisconsin.

Quite honestly, MN and my county have given people false sense of security when they clear the roads so quickly. People expect it now. So then when we do get a “bad” winter storm, people in the ditch all over, and others would be upset that they were late. No one thinks ahead to leave a little sooner anymore. It’s made everyone softer, and worse drivers because of it.

Exactly like that.

I certainly appreciate having the power at my fingertips to get answers to whatever questions I may have, right now, but without discretion it’s easy to get false information.
