Out here they closed the schools Monday in Indy for the SB. At least from the new report. One woman was complaining, they would close schools for the SB, but not for snow days. We did get some. They closed county schools last Friday. We were suppose to get a lot, 4-12 inches. We got maybe 3, but with ice. It did rain, then snow, then rain Friday. We did get about 4 inches Monday night. It wasn't bad driving though. We got about an inch or two yesterday. The winds were bad and drifting becomes a problem. I was out in the stuff Saturday, and some of the drifts were a problem. Last night going home from work, I took my usually route. It was fine, till I hit the back country roads. Some of the drifts were above 1 ft. At one point, there were a set of tire tracks or groves in the snow. I would say 1-1/2 to 2 ft. My Ford Contour was struggling. If I stopped or spun out, it was over. A Dodge Pickup was coming, the other way. I couldn't go into my lane, or else. He stopped, backed up and waited. It was clear at the intersection. I waived and said thanks. I waited as I could see a Ford Explorer coming down the way. She did skitter through the intersection, but was OK. I continued down the road. There were some drift, but no one was coming, so I was OK. It was deep at the final raod to my place. I made it and coming was OK today. I didn't take the one road though.
I will say out here, most people have been driving fairly well this season. At least the first snow, I didn't notice anyone trying to do the speed limit. I remeber doing 30-35 mph, while following people. At bit slow for me, but safe.
