Fun Times Here on the Frozen Tundra-- Part 4: Third-Most Snow-- Snow Tracking-- Gray Ice

JSS-- Just Some Stuff. //// 1. THIRD-MOST SNOW-- I knew we had gotten a lot of snow this last month, and at 33.5 inches, it is the third-most since records have been kept dating to 1884. The most was January 1918 with 42.5 inches and second-most 40.4 inches in 1979. Last month, Minneapolis-St. Paul received 22.7 inches, Green Bay 17 inches and Denver 14 inches. What's wrong with this picture? 2. SNOW TRACKING--- I feel sorry for the poor car and truck mats, which are soaked. Plus, coming in involves shedding that wet footwear. Go into any public place and the floors are muddy from all the slush. 3. GRAY ICE-- Another problem this year is that unbelievably gross "Gray Ice/Snow" that attaches to your car whenever you drive anywhere as our roads are generally not clear. Huge chunks of this gross stuff is all over parking lots and in the roadways. Plus, I keep having to clear out accumulation from the garage. //// The Midwest Must Have Gotten Mother Nature Really Mad This Year. --RoadDog
