Those darn snow plows


It was a very nice day today except for this:

Serious injuries reported after massive 40-car pileup on I-35

Yeah, we got some snow but it didn't seem to be the cause of this heap of metal! Visibility over a dip in the road caused this.

But that didn't stop the rag news from taking it's pot shots at the plows and MN Dot, oh and Governor Tim Pawlenty. It couldn't be the fault of over confident drivers who think that they can travel the speed of light in questionable conditions.

I drove this morning and really it wasn't bad. The snow blew right off the road as I drove over it. And from the looks of these pics it's looks similar to the road conditions out here. In fact, it was worse where the snow plows HAD been with their salt. It turned the roads into slushy messes. I actually think it was better to not have salted the roads but I guess I'm not a professional reporter or anything.
