The snowstorm continued through the night. My driveway drifted in but my trusty Subaru Forester plowed through just fine. I thought that would be the worst part of my trip into work this morning. However, the county road I live on had not been plowed - at all. I followed the tracks of a truck that must have gone just before me. I found the truck three miles later, stuck in the snow at the intersection of the county road and a state highway. I carefully picked my way around him. The state highways had been plowed but some time ago and had drifted badly. It turns out 42 m/p/h is the perfect speed to go to have momentum to get through the drifts yet maintain control enough to keep out of the ditches. I white-knuckled it the rest of the way to work. Lisa, the intern, milked w/ me but was also milking the second shift today. She asked the dairy owner if it would be all right if she just stuck around the barn - she didn't want to go out in the storm again. So I talked her into helping Mike and I scrub down the parlor after milking and then took her into town to get breakfast at McD's and dropped her back off at the dairy. Once I got home, I stayed put for the rest of the day. Oh, I did send off an e-mail to Subaru telling them they make a truly awesome car.
