I'm a little perplexed that I'm actually considering a job where there's currently a foot of snow on the ground with more to come in the next few days and the highest temp they've seen this week is 17 degrees.

We now are much more careful, and probably will go dead south to Memphis on 57, and then cut over, but with this Arctic bubble it may not be far enough south.   Driving in ice and snow is no fun.
