    For all of Toledo?

    It hasn't stopped snowing for days here. Expecting another 4 to 7 lake effect now that the snowstorm itself is gone. Windchill currently -23 and snowing.....

    What do they do, tow you away or make you abandon your car?

    I think it is an idle threat. Some fat cop is not getting out of his Dodge Charger to pull me over in a one ton with 4 wheel drive. Besides, all you have to do is say that you were taking your neighbor to work, at the hospital.

    I may go see if the carry out or the gas station are open. I am out of beer and tired of Whisky, and it's going to to -20 (actual temp).

    I'd like to run my diesel every once in a while. I use additive, but Jees... -20?

    Someone was trying to fly a plane this morning out of our little air port. Crashed and said to have died. No info yet, not very smart trying to fly a old plane in this crap.

    Wow.

    I wish that I had gotten a pic. About half-way through yesterday's snow event, somebody pulled a 18ish foot I/O boat like a bayliner or a capri down the street in front of the house.

    I am officially an outlaw. I just drove.

    Just got notified by a friend in South Haven they are writing tickets if you're on the road there without an emergency. Businesses must like that.....

    Big brother needs to tell us what is best for us.

    Half of the people who they are telling to stay home probably have vehicles that outclass the cops.

    Besides, "emergencies" are subjective. Is the cop a jury now, determining what is an emergency and what is not? Checking on my elderly parents is not okay but bringing food to a baby is ok but driving my neighbor to work at a hospital is not ok but going to get my daughter at work is ok? The "emergency" test will not hold up in court.

    She's already moving into Mgmt

    I guess all the stores are cleared out of Milk, eggs, and bread.
    I guess everyone makes French Toast when there is a snowstorm.

    We just broke a 129 year old temp record.
    -15 with a -40 wind chill.

    I've been starting the cars every four hours since the bottom fell out.

    They had lifted the ban, but reinstated it at 4:00 this morning because of the cold.

    Being out is now illegal again. Waiting for contact from work.
