If I could I'd be happy to share a video of a ground blizzard which were a common occurrence in Montana when I was a kid .
This was long before rumble strips on the highway and you hoped and prayed that you could see the reflectors on the side of the road !
You learned quickly to slow way down and pay close attention to what you could feel while holding the steering wheel and the sounds of the tires .
Yellow or rose colored shooting or safety glasses are good send to cut down the chances of snow blindness , remembering to blink you're eyes helps greatly also . Being prepared is the main thing a warm blanket , gloves and warm hat with a candle with 3 or 4 wicks will help keep you warm jerky , candy bars or just snacks and bottled water helps and if you slide off the road stay with your vehicle and keep the snow from covering up the exhaust pipe .
Every year or two someone thinks they can walk home or to the neighbors house , some make it but sadly others don't .
In Indiana an inch per hour is the typical max for snowfall. Iowa gets whiteouts and much colder.windier, got stuck in some light lake effect snow leaving Cleveland a few years back and lucked out there it's no joke!! I love the snow but that's plenty for me!!
There are others?//!1?@@?

Funny story:
Our microwave stopped working Monday night, put some stuff in there for a minute to heat, and it didn't heat. Of course I did that three more times with the same result. So off to our local appliance store the next morning for a replacement. It's a small, local place, I'm the only car in the lot and the only customer, so the woman owner is helping me. My only requirement was that it had to have a black/stainless finish to match the other stuff in the kitchen. Her only model like that was an LG, of course the most expensive one, and it has this funky safety latch where you have to push a button on the side with your finger, while simultaneously pressing the door open bar with your thumb. She says you can just lock out that safety feature so it works like any other one. I asked if that was something that they were all going to have now, and she says this to me: You see how the world is now. Some idiot somewhere probably put a chipmunk in their microwave, and now we're all going to have to deal with this kind of crap. Made me laugh, and I told her to stop talking and ring me up. And I'll go back there if I need anything else.
