We get a couple inches of wet snow today, good sized chain reaction about 15 miles south of the last one at Ames.
 
From what I see on I-40 no one seems to think the weather has anything to do with driving.
 
I almost got hit head on today. The snow we got fell and got real slick right away. I was on a paved country road that had not been plowed but only had an inch or so of snow on it. I was in a front wheel drive vehicle. If I stayed around 35-40 you had no problem controlling your car. Right as I got to a bridge a maniac driver came flying the opposite way. Down a slight grade with a small curve right before you cross a bridge. SHE was driving a mini van full of kids, 55-60. She lost control and slide sideways down the bridge approach. I could not get off the road any as I was in the bridge. I came to a complete stop and she got back on her side maybe fifty feet from me. She never even let off the gas and kept right on flying along out of sight. Driver of a car following here just shook his head as we passed. As there had not been any cars in front of me is could see where she had passed that car just a little bit further down the road. Right at the crest of a hill with zero visibility of on coming traffic. Total IDIOT!!!!
