It is snowing like hell outside

[Freddy Freaker]

So I just had a fun near death experience.

I currently live north of OH route 8 and work south of route 8. The highways closer to home were all clear with the exception of people slowing down for an accident in the northbound lanes. Once I got near route 8 the snow got really bad and the highways were varying degrees of messy.

Things weren't forecasted to be quite bad enough for the higher ups to tell nonessential personnel to stay home. So I'm getting closer to work and everyone is going 40-45 MPH on the freeway. And then I skid and it turns into a spin. I must've panicked and turned the wheel the wrong way or too hard. By some miracle I barely avoid taking out another car and/or rolling over and I ended up almost in the ditch in the median facing the wrong way.

Some other driver pulled over and she was able to flag traffic to slow down and I was able to drive to the other shoulder. Fortunately there was no damage and I made it in 20 minutes ago. Roads should hopefully be better by the time I leave

It's snowing out here too, and I don't live in the Midwest.

Granted, it's snowing but it's not sticking to the ground. The first snow of the year is usually like that where I live. But we usually don't get that first snow until December, usually in the mid-to-late part of the month. This is just the second week of November.

I'm in for one hell of a winter, aren't I?

Michigan Tech., which is in the upper peninsula of Michigan has snowmobile parking. The campus gets some 200 inches of snow a year. Snow is great it is the high winds I could do without. Every year around February there is always two weeks that get -20 F to -40 F with windchill. Roads have drifts all over, white out conditions all the time. Then every 6 hours you gotta go outside and start the car for a bit to make sure it stays reliable.
The new challenge this year is how to keep our dog comfortable outside. She hates the wind but there are no trees in the yard. Thinking of putting a stake in at an angle and tying a tarp to it.
