For all you snickering northerners who don't understand the ground was above freezing when it started to snow. Heck it was about 60 the day before. It was snowing for well over an hour before the flakes started to stick on the pavement. Everything was soaking wet.

When the snow fall increased and the temperature dropped the entire city turned to a sheet of ice in less than 60 minutes. This was not the typical snowfall in Minnesota where the ground has been frozen for the last 12 years. When the entire city goes from zero to gridlocked in 90 minutes there is not much any road crew can do.

“Heck it was about 60 the day before.”

And here in NC, on that day, I had the convertible top down...driving around looking for clear 1-K kerosene for a kero heater, oddly enough.

It's a full time job to correct the ignorant arrogance of some of the Yankees on this subject. Thanks for trying.
