Friday we finally got the Arctic blast that was forecast. Temps have been reaching 25F for highs and dropping to 0 or below at night. Had about three inches of snow, roads were plowed, a bit slick but nothing bad. Someone with 4x4 SUV thought they could drive as fast as they wanted on the roads and ending up sliding of the road and smashing into the tree's on the side of the mountain.

What was unusual was that the basin had the same amount of snow as the house (house is at 7100 ft above sea level, the basin is roughly 4400 feet above sea level). The city where I am student teaching has no snow removal equipment and the roads were extremely slick. No, delay, which was stupid because there were several accidents where people couldn't stop and slid through intersections or ending up flipping their vehicles. A one hour delay would of allowed the roads to warm and clear.
