@pzmyers The snow trapped you in didn't it? And that campus is about 2.4 hours from where I work.
@bradlibum Yeah, that's it. I got here in August 2000, and I've been stuck in the snow ever since. Hoping that global warming will melt the glaciers and free me soon.
@pzmyers Have you ever come across people who get scared because they have never seen snowplows, big tractors and combines out on public roads before?
