| We had a winter storm everything turned to ice this afternoon . I got to play God today... I pushed about 70 people this afternoon in the RZR that could not get up the hills on the ice. The S just hunkered right down and got them going. I even had to help a four wheel drive ford get up a hill.... Had to drive a guy across town in the buggy to save his wife that was to scared to try to drive. There was a pile up , everyone was stuck in an intersection on a hill. I got them all out. and everyone was Clapping.... it was Fun but my hands feel like there frost biten now. it is about 19 degrees out , and going down the street in the RZR it felt like - 19.... Let the tires down to about 2 pounds. and nothing would stop it.... | |

Craig this stuff only happens here about every 5 years or so. I don't think that justifies the expense. it is normally about 50 degrees here at this time of year. The monkey suit did fine. I just grabbed some old cotton gloves. cause all i had plan to do was just go down the street and see why all the traffic was at a stand still. Did not know i would be out there for hours. saving the Town..... The damn thing is i had some ski gloves in the closet , I wish i had , had them on.... | |

| Tomorrows high here is going to be about 29 , So what is here is going to stay here til Thursday for sure. We only got about 3 or so inches of snow. but it was warm yesterday so when it first started to snow , it was melting. then by noon it was in the 20's and it started to freeze. That is when things got Shitty for everyone in a car , But fun for me..... | |

| Well , the sun came out today. The roads are better , went to the store in the S-10 , there is still some bad spots. Have to plan your rout to stay off hills. Cars crashed everywhere right in the middle of the road where they left them yesterday. The stores are packed. people act like its the end of the world... its only 29 here right now. Hell it will all be gone here in a day or two. but tonight will be bad. all the roads that melted and turn to slush will freeze solid tonight. and it will be a rollercoster again . So i went and stocked up on food , So i would not have to get out anymore today.... | |

| No pics of any of this. My hands were not capable of working the phone. Besides it was to fast paced , every time i turned around somone needed help. but now i wished i could of got a few pics to remember it all. it happened so fast , I never seen a storm come up so fast around here. The problem was everyone went to work and school like normal cause everything was fine at 7 AM . but by noon everything went to shit . temp fail like a rock everything froze and snowing So at noon they let everyone off work and school let out at the same time in this mess. it was grid lock on ice.... I never seen anything like it. | |

| They let us out around 1:00pm Tuesday. It was pretty bad trying to get home. Some people just don't understand it takes momentum to get up hills with ice on them. Today is the first day back for me. The roads were pretty decent but my truck was showing -5 deg. I don't remember ever seeing it show that low before. | |
