It was not a good morning here, too many fatal traffic accidents here from the blowing snow causing very poor driving conditions.

One accident was with a pair of semi`s and another was single vehicle roll over. I`m certainly glad I don`t have to be out driving in this awful weather.

I`ll always wait out storms but alot of folks don`t have that option. I feel for the law enforcement and the emergency people that have to respond to accidents.........no matter what the roads conditions are like.

Agreed but I`m thinking of semi drivers and others that depend on driving for a living. Winter is an awful time for that.

I guess, but in that kind of extreme weather I'd just rather pull off the highway and wait it out.

Yes, it`s best certainly to pullover and wait it out, no use chancing an accident.

when I was on our local Fire and Rescue department, we had many fatalities on Interstate 80 here in Jersey, and having to deal with the situations and incidents on a daily basis didn't really hit you until after the scene was cleared and you were back at the station talking about it.

I can`t even imagine that, I`m certainly not cut out for this type of work.

Thanks Mo, thought the back was better today so I ran the snowblower this afternoon. Big mistake. I have a hard time asking for help with things like that. But help is available so I just gotta do it.

Be sure to give your back plenty of time to heal, you don`t want to make it worse Bruce.
Hump day? Again.......
