Old man winter came a knockin last night. *Ought to have my tail kicked for not getting a pic of the snow on the V21 cover. *We probably got close to an inch, then some ice thrown in. *Fun fun. * Took me 2x longer to get to work this morning and saw 4 accidents. *Then right outside my window a guy got creamed by a tractor trailer on a motorcycle *:'( *Hope he's alright.

It's been sub-zero with the wind chill factor up here the last couple days. Been a very mild winter overall, so we can't really complain.

We got more snow than the weatherman was calling for. I've been to 5 wrecks this morning. One 4 car, a 3 car, and three 2 car.
Its slowed down now but I bet there were 100 wrecks in this county so far today.
Well, back to the paperwork.

I saw 4 wrecks on my way up hwy 52 to winston.
Update on the guy on the motorcycle: he bailed just before the truck ran completely over his bike. Was not hit by the truck thank goodness, but they said he might have a broken leg. Thank you Lord!

I'm 25 miles south of Cy and Turbo's another 10 south of me. Anywho, just rain here for us. Heck, its not that cold and I'm thinkin of going fishin after work. If wifey doesn't have dinner ready when I get home I might have to go look for a rock under a bridge.

That guy who got hit on the motor, we call him a self correcting problem. Not the best idea to ride a 2 wheeler in the snow.

Correction: wasn't a motorcycle, just a big scooter. Honestly after that tractor trailer ran over it you couldn't tell what it was!
