I thought since we had clear skies at sunset we would get out of the snow. WRONG!!! Somewhere after 8 before 9:30 it started snowing A LOT! We had at least 1/2" on the ground in that time period. It didn't last a whole lot longer, but it did definitely come down.

It was a slick bass turd heading out this morning. I have never seen so many trucks try to cram into the Kum & Go parking lot. It is a good size lot for the trucks, but they were almost out on to the road, partially blocking the lane... I got onto the interstate and see 3 rigs in the ditches, one did a full 360 spin and was laying on its side.
