A little story about the trip home from Duluth this weekend. Normally it's a 6 hour trip. Yesterday it took 9 hours and 15 minutes. At least we made it home in one piece... but it took a looooong time.
Minnesota trees. Snow and ice now included.
Here's were we were stopped for about 40 minutes on I-35.
A truck jack-knifed about 300 yards ahead of us. Before and after this we were moving about 20 miles and hour behind snow plows -- probably just as well through, much faster and it wouldn't have been very safe.
Here's the truck that was jack-knifed after it got helped out by a tow truck. I really have no idea where he thought he was going facing backwards.
More truck trouble...
and more...
and more...(this one is really blurry but you can kind of make out the contents spilled on the ground).
My car the day after. It was clean before we left. Notice no snow anywhere. One good thing about Iowa!
The wheel well was nice and caked, too.

Dawn and I were coming back from the Cities on Monday the 13th. We can feel your pain. 6 1/2 hours, plus another 20 minutes of me pushing the car out of the median with no gloves or a stocking cap after we did a 720 and rammed into a snowbank.
