Most of you have heard the news stories about the Midwest being slammed with 12-20 inches of snow in one storm. Some of you didn't have to hear about it, like me, you lived it!

Insult was added to injury on I-90 in Southern Wisconsin when a Big Rig slid sideways, causing a 19 mile parking lot.

The people were stuck in their cars all night long. The governor called out the National Guard, who set out on snowmobiles and 4 wheelers, delivering food, blankets and coffee to the stranded motorists. Because the state already had plans and protocols in place... and used them, there were only a few people who needed medical attention.

Way to go Wisconsin!!!!

WOW!!!!!!!!!! Glad that the state was willing to do them kind of things to keep the motorists comfy and warm. I suppose here we would of been left to freeze lol. We have had 2 nasty storms so far this year which being from Canada people seem to think we get often. When in truth we dont get that much cold weather where I live. We are so NOT used to these storms that when they hit the city freaks out and closes down

I'm presuming you are on the East Coast. You should see the crippling effects of 10cm snow in Vancouver, Victoria, B.C.We should be taking a lesson from the Wisconsonians.

Good Going Wisconsin!! Michigan is like that. I spent some years growing up in Michigan and I can remember going to school on snowmobiles...business as usual. Here in Missouri...they get 2-3" and they close down. In Texas, they get a couple inches and they shut down the whole state practically.
