Dave, we had 37" of snow in Duluth on Halloween.. I went to work on friday and couldn't leave there until sunday night...
Sometimes you can't alway's get home... But those are the good times that we talk about.

Not too long ago we were on our way home from Florida in April and had to stay in Des Moines because of the rain turning to ice... Spent the night there and got as far as Boondock IA when it was snowing so hard that we couldn't see a thing.. We got off the freeway and into a restaurant at the gas station there... It was only 10:30 am but we asked if there was a motel close by that we could atay at and they said yes.. Turn right and go 50 yards and there it is.... We couldn't even see it...We still laugh about that. We checked into the motel and waited until about 4:00 when they opened the roads again and made it back to Minneapolis that night... That was before retirement and it was important to get home.. But guess what? There are still several million that live in that beautiful area and know that it is worth the few times like that.
