I saw an article about that poor truck, Linda. I guess they closed that whole
stretch of highway down so he could get to a safe turn off to get the truck
towed, or fixed anyway. It would indeed be frightening. glad they brought him
to safety.

Oo, Vickie, how horrible and how frightening. I’m sure glad you and Mary made
it through that horrible piece of snowy highway in one piece! I heard about a
poor guy who had one wheel of a truck he had to drive for delivery off of a
road and hanging down a cliff. This would have been in the mountain area north
of the Bay Area during one of the most recent storms at a time mud slides were
happening in the area. Luckily, someone from Cal Trans (the agency which
cleans up mud slides and assists stranded drivers) helped him to make sure the
truck stayed on the road. He said he was never so frightened in his life. I
sure don’t envy drivers during winter storms as conditions can be so
treacherous!

No no, not a rehab teacher. Just a pea on secretary. I worked for the
Business Enterprise Program though, and every year they did a training program
for people who wanted to get into the vending program. So, I was in charge of
talking about several things and they always held the training beginning
January, through March. Right in the heart of winter. One time Mary Jenkins
and I hit an icy spot on I-94 and bounced from left to right, off snow piles,
praying we wouldn’t get hit by one of the nine semi trucks that were passing
by, or crashed on the side of the road. Very frightening. We were in a mini
van.

Vicki,
Were you a rehab teacher at the commission?
As far as the snow goes I wouldn't mind a couple more snow storms so I can get
a couple more snow days.

Oh Connie, don’t worry. You’re getting snow later on, probably about
Monday or Tuesday. smile. I know you miss it soooooo much! Since Kalamazoo is
the snow capital I use to say. Had some scary rides through K Zoo during my
life in Michigan. Both in my early years with mom and dad, traveling from
Benton Harbor to Pontiac, and later in my work years, traveling to present at
the training center in Kalamazoo while working for the Commission. Not my
favorite place to live for sure!

Yikes
That is a lot of snow. The weather has been crazy here too. It is now 14
degrees and tomorrow we are supposed to get into the 40s. Stay safe and warm
in the storm.
Take care.

We're still getting our share of wet weather in Reno. There might be some
flooding for those who live near the rivers and smaller bodies of water.
