This past Friday I had planned to travel to Minneapolis (normally a 5 hour drive) for a 1pm appointment. Having left a litte before 7am I felt comfortable I would have no problem keeping the meeting. I knew there was early season snow storm crossing the Western part of Wisconsin, but was comfortable that it would slow me only a little at best. I was wrong.
The traffic in the above picture is not moving. For almost four hours we stood still. I was talking to friends and family in Minneapolis (about 120 miles west of me) and it was clear blue skies and sun. They ended up with 8 or more inches of snow where I was.
When I saw the cause of or delay, I was thankful to have been where I was vs. near this truck when the problem occurred. I did eventually make it in Minneapolis (10 hours after leaving home). I would have turned around, but I had a computer and other things to drop off with Michael Woods (our editor here at JimRaffel.com). My wife was also counting on me for a ride home from a conference she had been attending in Minneapolis.
