A dad died this morning. Suddenly. Small, town, yes we are all friends with him. Bigger than life loudmouth. Has 2 kids in the HS. Kids are still reeling from the last one.
Good grief, what a rough week you've had! I missed you telling about your mom friend that passed last week and now a dad. So much for one school to handle.

Bad time for a city down the road: Of their 15 snow removal trucks, "five of 'em are broke down" (according to their road maintenance supervisor). So today, now that it has rained all night and is above freezing, and much of the snow is melted away..they are FINALLY going to plow the already-naturally-cleared roads this morning. The city's residents have not taken well to their roads being totally ignored since the beginning of the storm.

Heading down now.
the Big Kid says they didn't salt or ice, then plowed and packed it down.
They only got a few inches but he says NC did not do well with snow removal.

I'm an hour from Winston Salem NC and my daughter lives there now (still in college) and she agrees with your Big Kid's assessment! Thankfully she could walk to her internship and her part time job was closed. Classes start back for her next week.

I believe that sand must be prohibitively expensive, or something. It is only ever used on the very main-est-of-the-main throroughfares, at my end of the state.
One of the first years I lived here, the snowy roads were salted, immediately following the plows. Just salt. Period.
The next morning, a Zamboni would have been a more appropriate vehicle to drive. DUH!!!!
