Thank you for your honesty in answering “what bad part?” Now I’m dying to know if you identify as an asshole truck/SUV driver or Snow.

Absolutely terrible. Snow is packed down into ice. MODOT said they have nothing to treat roads bc of how cold it is. All they can do is plow and sand busiest roads which isn’t helping much.

Opening private homes isn’t the answer, anyway, despite what randos on the Internet would have you believe. Having large spaces for congregate care provided by people who know what they’re doing is important. Individuals can help best by donating what the shelters need, be that food, clothing, money, time, etc.

It’s disappointing but unfortunately it’s a “better than nothing” approach that we are left with. I wish I had the means to open my home, but I don’t, that’s just the reality. Hopefully by posting this it, or the other comments left by others, can help someone now or in the future.

For those of us who can’t to open our homes, we can try to share resources.

Well don’t drive unless you have to. I needed food and got my favorite thing, and no one even barely had their lights on. Also…I forgot how fun a backend vehicle is. So if you saw me pulling donuts at the mall. Welp. I hurt no one and it was was fun. So just trust yourself and trust no one out there. Be safe.
