Winter Storm Makes Roads Dangerous

Not since the Halloween Storm of 1991, have I seen the roads as bad as they were for so long as from Friday through this past weekend. This morning, while better, the roads are still slippery in places where the ice is stuck to the pavement.

Friday the neighbor was stuck in our driveway(our garages face each other so she was trying to pull into her garage.) I pulled around her and got stuck.
Another neighbor came over and we shoveled and pushed. no luck she had to get towed out. Once she was gone I was able to move my car to snowblow. I tried to move it back but it was stuck again.
Ya gotta love this snow!

Definitely off the "beaten path," in a spruce bog in Northern Minnesota, this site boasts an incredible array of scientific equipment that is supported by an amazing technological infrastructure! There are control sites and some of the chambers have added heat, carbon dioxide, or both. A lot of equipment and experimental testing goes on 24/7, 365 days per year. These guys know their stuff.
