When I hit a deer in city limits I called the non-emergency police line. They dispatched an officer who then called another agency who I believe was with the department of conservation. The deer was gonna be processed and donated to a food panty. It's probably too late for your deer though.

I called in and I can't decide if it was a good move or not. Probably was, considering I think we are going to get more today? Either way, I hope everyone has a safe day !

I likely trust myself to drive, its other people that I can’t trust. But getting out if my neighborhood is impossible anyway. Theres a small hill going down on the way out and everyone is sliding into another neighbors yard/the curb. I’m sitting it out today.

Just got home from work.. def slick.. turning lanes real slick and stopping wasn't easy but take it slow and give yourself plenty of room you'll make it.. scary part isnt yourself as much as trusting others some going slow some still going way to fast .. be safe out there

looking at the traffic cams on modot it seems like there’s already a fair bit of cars out on the road. I’ll probably be going into work, just going to give myself extra time and take it really slow

I’m wondering how bad it is outside. I heard everything is solid ice and I have work/school in less than an hour. I can’t afford an accident

Snow doesn't bother me in the least but I don't eff with ice. Just yesterday morning it was bad enough I got lucky and witnessed a car just barely avoid the ditch so I turned around and went home. The road I was just on 5 minutes before had already frozen and lost all traction.

I’ve driven professionally for most of my adult life. I do not work on ice. There’s no way to mitigate the potential problems enough to make it worth it to me.
