gawd i hate being stuck here XD
Ha, ODOT (Oregons version of DelDOT) does the same thing or puts it down a bit to late XD
And awesome =D
I laughed at this because I've been through this alot, and I live in Wisconsin. Yeah we get snow, alot of it. We actually don't like it. Anyway, one day I had a snow day where it snowed for 45 minutes, lightly. We had no school for that? Its wasted the school of one summer day (which sucked alot). The ironic part of it was another day where we had a bad blizzard, I mean bad bad. I couldn't see past 2 feet from the hood of my car! And the funny thing is, my school district didn't care and still made it a school day despite the road conditions. It was dangerous that day that half the school was missing due to bad traffic, most driving off the road. I slid past a red light, and I thought I shit a brick. lol It's quite funny though, they never used salt that day, the plows where all in servicing during then. After school ended, my car was buried in 4 feet of snow! *giggles* It took me forty minutes to dig it up, and I got it stuck later. =D But anyway, snow is fun, until it gets in places you don't want them to be. :P
