No snow here but the roads were iced over real heavy south of town around 8 am. Surprised it's all melted off, temps still below freezing.
This is not funny, I'm supposed to be flying into Memphis Saturday morning. Get this stuff cleaned up before then.

For some reason or other, the Board of Supervisors bought 3 New snow plows (about a million) a couple of years ago. First time they tried them, they knocked up all the "Drunk Bumps". SO, the Tunica County roads are not impassible, but require 4 wheel drive (which most everybody has due to the MUD) to be safe. Meanwhile, I think the batteries are down on the snow plows or the operators didn't show up for work, so much for a million dollars worth of plows.... Go Figure!
I checked all the package tracking and a 5th package that was due next week. All turned over to the post office, all sitting at the post office. Notice on post office tracking, no deliveries due to bad weather. She's going to love delivering these since the lightest is 40# and 2 heavy ones at 68#.
I remember the snow storm of '85. I went to work in light snow without a problem. Our shop was away from the main shop and there were 3 of us working there. Instead of the boss coming to check on us he would call. Telling us each time to watch the weather, we never opened the door until time to head home. The next crew came in the rear door instead of the front doors. Snow had drifted about 7' on the front doors. Snow was drifted to the top of my car on the drivers side and had a hard time opening the passenger door. It was a 3 hour trip home instead of 20 minutes.
All you have to do is follow the $$. Find out who the plows were bought from. In my area they would be bought from a family member/friend of one of the commissioners.
Our state and county road departments used to wait until the snow was piled up so deep they couldn't get the plows out before they would consider trying to plow. Lately they have started pre-treating the roads with a liquid brine solution that makes the effects on the road less. They also don't wait as long to start trying to clear the snow/ice off. It's 5 degrees here this morning so anything on the road will stay there for a while.
