More like silly half-tonnes with no weight in the back. There were about
10 vehicles stopped on my residential street at once the last time I
looked outside today, all the fault of a couple trucks that got stuck in
the intersection. My work called me and told me to stay home today, but
my dad just got home from a 2.5 hour drive home (usually a 15min drive)
and had to park a block away because everyone is stuck. My mom said she
was leaving work at 1:45, but has yet to show up. She has a 15min drive
down 33rd on a normal day.

I tried to take some pictures of the weather but they don't show just
how bad it is. The first two didn't turn out very well as there was lots
of snow on the window, and my camera wanted to focus on the bug screen.
The last turned out better as I opened the back door a crack and poked
the camera out.
