I saw a similar thing in Northern Michigan about 5 years ago. On a lonely lonesome highway (which happpened to really be East of Omaha), a Ford Escape was on it’s side in a foot or so of fresh, powdery snow about 20’ off the shoulder. Mid 30’s couple with their couple month old infant baby, no one hurt. The truck was in an odd spot as it was somewhat laying against a small incline, so the husband and I managed to tip the truck back on all fours fairly easily. He then hops in, starts it up, creeps his way into the woods where he turns around and comes full throttle back towards the road! Next thing I know the truck is back on pavement, with no visible damage, and they casually just drove away after a handshake and a thank you. Whole thing took about 5 minutes. ---

west virginia onyx…quite different from vriginia. I’ve driven through there several times in the past few weeks. I was just there over the weekend at snowshoe mountain for the new year holiday. Weather got really shitty in the mountains as we were leaving on monday. To make matters worse, it rained all day sunday with a high of 45\*, then promptly hit the teens that night, causing ice everywhere. Also proceeded to drop 8" of snow during the day on monday. So glad I was out of there by 11am. That looks horrible. ---

Damn it. It took me an hour and 15 minutes to get to work today! It’s normally 20 minutes. People need better training to drive in snow so maybe they can learn how important snow tires are and then stop driving 5 miles an hour whenever we get 3 inches. ---

Same old same old in the south towns they must think wind does not exist on these hills because they NEVER plow unless the snow fall totals are high enough. They just can’t seem to grasp the concept of snow drifting on the highest(aka windiest) roads in Erie county. ---
