We got 4" of snow yesterday, 1/2" of ice overnight, and 4" more of snow today.

My rear tires lost traction about six times going in to work yesterday, including a nice fishtail going up the highway entrance ramp (2WD FTL).

I didn't go anywhere today (Lvl 3 snow emergency FTW), and spent all afternoon cleaning the truck and driveway once the snow stopped.

Now that I've defrosted and eaten, it's time for a hot shower and a warm bed.

W e had the same thing. At night you could see bright flash of blue and a loud boom.

Looked and sounded cool but really you only hoped no one was around it.
