We're in a self-imposed lockdown right now.  Ain't no need to be out on these roads today.

When I lived in Chicago, I would drive in anything. Had no choice. Remote working was not a thing, at all. 

Snow days were for pussies, so to speak.

Now I'm a pussy. I don't even like driving in the rain or dark anymore.

It's not really comparable.  Northern cities have road crews, trucks for sanding/salting, etc.  Austin has none of those, just not cost effective to maintain a fleet for the 5 times per decade this happens.

Yeah, it was the joke I always made when it snowed at Purdue. 

In Chicago, they have the infrastructure in place. In West Lafayette, they had Earl. Earl loved to plow snow, but he could only do it when he was sober. Problem was, Earl started drinking as soon as the snow started falling. 

They were always behind. Always.

That's what you get for not living on the same street as an Alderman. You were treated like the rest of the peons.

Well, I feel a little foolish.  I've seen you post Sewer City on these forums for years, just now realized you really meant Sioux City.

Or at least that's what I assume now.  Unless I'm wrong. 

Carry on. 
good guess

have you driven through north-south on I-29?

That is a copper mine, and any comparison of sea levels should account for tides.
