I went out unaware of what the weather would be like today, it was terrible, could not see for the blowing snow. Got like three miles from my destination and there was a fatal accident. I kept thinking the whole time, if I had watched the weather I would not have went out today, so I will keep an eye on it from now on, I urge you all to do the same. I know there are people out there that will say, it is february, what did you expect, well I did not expect what I ran into today. Becareful everybody.

The driveway business is scary for me too. My driveway is pretty long and it gradually goes down hill. I hate when it snows cause its a pain in the buttfor days afterwards. I have to have my truck to get out since there is no way of turning around once you pull down in. On top of that the contractor was paid to put a french drain pipe in so all the water didn't run down in but decided to keep the money and for go the pipe. My husband and I were both working when this construction was underway.We thought since he was a friend of my sisters and her sons little league coach, we would be able to trust him. All the water causes ice and when it warms up it becomes an ice skating rink. Gonna go with my own instincts this spring when it comes time to polish off the land and the driveway and get the guy I had in here before winter set in. I had to call him in after we let the other guy go but there wasn't enough time to finish up before the crazy weather started. Can't wait for spring...

Skating rink, not fun for driving on, will you have a turn around point put in? This is good if you live near where traffic is passing a lot. Hope you get it cleared up soon.
Goodnatured, I am glad to see that you made it home safe, sorry to hear that you had such a stressful drive. Hope you can stay a little more local now. glad you made it home.

Yes definatelt a turn around spot. I was actually thinking of making a driveway loop so you can just drive right around. I want to leave a small grass area in the middle and put a flag pole in and some flowers. Kind of dress it up a bit. I don't pull out onto any main highways..all country this way, but it would still make it easier, especially in the winter months.

No better not hold your breath. We had schools closed today. More snow than we have had all winter but looks like maybe an inch or so. but the secondary roads are bad today. This is only the second snow this winter the last one was less than this one.But the kids are glad to get out of school.I am also ready for spring and some drying out! Our yard is like a sponge .You cannot even welk out side except you must wear mud boots! Terrible!Even the dogs leave tracks.
