I went to work this morning to help with some mandatory training. I got there at 0630. No precipitation at that time. I tried to leave at 0830, and my car was covered with a sheet of ice. Left work about 0845, and I just got home, and I live 2 miles from work, and this is in the city!!
Smallhouse Road near the old teepee entrance of Shawnee estates (for all u BG savy members- Wayne) was a clusterf### of cars. Several of us who had good sense got out and started directing traffic, and thankfully, nobody was hurt. Idiots kept coming too even when we're waving our arms not too, and then they would slide and wreck or almost wreck U can not drive on ice. Some people have to try first before they believe that. The road needed to be blocker far sooner than it was, but there just weren't enough police to go around.
Finally got police there and got the road blocked, and I got turned around and went home an alternate way. My wife just told me a tractor trailer jacknifed on the road I just came home on (Cave Mill, Wayne). I'm thankful for safety today.
This was one of the worst times for an icestorm to hit. I heard at 0815 there were more than 100 accidents in this area, and I bet there are far more than that. All of our kids are at school too. WBKO just said there are a few county buses that still have not dropped their kids off at school. Terrible! I'm sure it's going to be a supreme cluster f### trying to get the kids home from school.
