Sounds like it. I had a friend that moved from here to Atlanta. She said people just abandoned their cars in the middle of the highways and it was less than 2”. LOL
The worst winter we had was when we got about 21” overnight in January. I couldn’t even get out of the driveway, and had only been working in St. Louis for about 6 months. I couldn’t get any answers from my supervisor or her boss.
So I wound up calling the main number and just letting it ring and ring. Finally Security answered and said the company was closed for the day, so not necessary to come in.
A few days later we got another 8” and so forth and so one for all of January and February. School was out of session for 2 months. The back roads could never get clear enough for the buses to run.
Practice makes perfect. I got lots of practice driving on snow and ice that winter especially.LOL
My first trip to Mo was my first out of the southeast. I left the gulf coast in a nice renta car wearing a short sleeve shirt. By the time I got to St Louis it was cold and snowing a little. I went west from there on 44 I think it was. That was not too bad either. But when I left that road for a two lane towards Jefferson City, things got more serious. It began to really snow after the sun went down and I could not see well. I got behind a truck that knew the road and followed him. I finally got where I was going near FT. Lenard Wood about 2am. Lots of snow on frozen ground, 7* and me wearing a short sleeve shirt.
I do own a jacket now, and just bought a long sleeve shirt to wear on cold days. Who knows, maybe we will use the heating system in the house sometime in the future. I’m getting soft in my Golden Years, or Rusty Years seems more appro.
