Glad you got home safe Mitch!! Reports are that the I-35 corridor is/was a real mess. There are gates to close off the Interstate between Hampton and Mason City because it's an open area prone to drifting, surprised that you were allowed to travel through.

Just a lot of rain thru that area when I went thru, the snow came later. My wife read an article this morning about the snowfall amounts in MN and Albert Lea was the hardest hit, and that I DID drive thru, albeit before the snow was done, but there were already plenty of cars off the road at 11PM. At some point, they called out the National Guard to help get all the people and cars back on the road.
This morning I had to clear a path with our 24" snow thrower to get a run up the driveway to the top. 175 ft long at about a 4% grade. Hard to tell how much snow we got, with all the blowing but at least 6" and maybe as much as 8"

Looks like an advertisement for Chevy trucks.

Built to stay tough!
