Reply to comment by tesla3by3 in Air quality question by oat_tao

I was just a little toddler then. The coldest air temperature I've ever been out in that I can remember is -10. No memory of it or the '93 blizzard even though I was technically here for both!

The blizzard of 93 I was the only manager on site. I told my employees they could leave as soon as they could get home. Busses had already stopped, so some employees offered rides to others. Had already planned to shut down when I didn’t have enough staff to operate.

A bit later got a call from corporate to shut down,but the manager in charge had to stay. That was me. I had no idea how long this would last, so I went to the grocery store nearby for some food. Turned out I was able to go home in about a day. Drove home, took about an hour to go 10 miles. Got to within a few blocks of my condo, gave up driving, walked the rest of the way. Got stopped twice by people seeing my Giant Eagle bags asking what was open.

I'm impressed you were able to drive on the roads only a day after that much snow. I know most cars did not have the traction and stability control that's basically standard on everything today yet then.
