My roommate never made it. She ended up walking to a friend's house to stay the night. This was a crazy day.

What's with all the people on social media posting crap like "Don't talk bad about the local meteorologists! They're only human!" They get paid to make sure shite like this doesn't happen. I mean, hell, they made schools close a few weeks ago just because it was cold. How do you miss a mini-blizzard?

I live up 59 from bham in ashville. We got around 3 inches up here, maybe 4 on top of straight mountain. I had a blast driving around today but I'm probably the only guy in the county with snow rated a/ts on his SUV. Plus having lived in Ohio and north Dakota.

All the weather guys whiffed horribly on this. 3 inches is a dusting in Minnesota, not here. Roads here were almost impassable with all the wrecks. I'm sure it was worse with all the traffic and idiots in bham. Schools being open was the biggest disaster in all of this. Not sure what they were thinking. Then again this state never prepares well for this sort of thing.

My uncle, who grew up in Washington, said he towed more people today than he has in his entire life combined. He is driving up and down I20 in his 3500 hauling people out and then taking them to safe houses.
