As you recall, it rained first. The ice was bonded to the roads for months. Washington Ave, by the Honey Bee gas station was like driving on a wash board.
That was one great storm. The blizzard we had last April, well, it just sucked.
Yeah and because everybody was driving on the initial slush, packing it down and then it got really cold.
I remember because deer season opened the following weekend and we drove all the way to Bemidji and back to the Cities on washboard highways.
