[QUOTE="Blondie, post: 124161, member: 70"] Yup, Dreamer, we've had some of the Snowplow Insanity accidents, although usually it had to do with overconfidence on the part of both the Plow driver AND other vehicles, combined with gale-gust winds last week . No one has been killed by an insane snowplow/driver combo here that I know of, tho, thank all Deities! Gosh that is HORRIBLE! But. We've had, during the aforementioned dreadful wind days, people -- pedestrians! literally blown into the road whilst waiting to cross. It happened to my youngest difficult child a week ago exactly: she was blown into the SIDE of a stopped car at a crossing. Omg. She was shaken up & had a couple of bruises, but the driver of said care freaked the heck out. Poor guy. He & his wife demanded that difficult child get into the car so they could drive her the block or so to HER car -- which was where she was trying to get to in the first place in order to go to class. Yeow. Course it would help if she weighed more than not-quite-100 lbs to begin with, but... A whole nother story, that one is. Turned out that class, in fact the whole College, was shut down & cancelled for the rest of that day and all a.m. of the next, after all that hoorah. In fact, the Interstate has been shut down multiple times just north of us. You're right: What totally bizarre weather. Every winter husband & I look at each other and say"Omg. tell me again why we live in Iowa??" Heh. Stay warm and stay safe! (and stay indoors, pls! ) :hugs: Blondie, horrified on your behalf [/QUOTE]
