cries in Springfield

(Then again, Springfield DPW is horrible at plowing, so I guess this is acceptable)

I know we did here in Springfield! The snow piles we shoveled were going over my head by the first week of February (so over six feet).

I’m in Springfield and it’s been years since we’ve had a winter with a satisfying amount of snow. This is the longest November in my lifetime!

As a former pharmacy technician, I can say that the first two weeks of January were always miserable. Next to an influx of college students (“how was I supposed to know my own insurance information?”) it was annoying having to remind a bunch of people that plans may have changed.

We just bought ours certified pre-owned less than two weeks ago, so I presumed that the tires would be new and properly inflated…which, come to find out this morning, they aren’t, so I suspect that played some role as well.

This was our first time driving our 2021 Rogue AWD and with all-season tires it was precarious. We almost slid off the road going through Palmer. I can’t imagine why almost no DPWs were on the ball with this storm.
