I did listen to my GPS last weekend and it potentially saved me a massive headache. I live in Wisconsin and left Thursday around 6pm to head 4.5 hours away to family who live in a very rural part of Indiana. Once we hit Chicago it was a nightmare. Very few plows, no salt, no lines. Everyone was just kinda doing their own thing. The skybridge was terrifyingly slippery.

After that there's a 117 mile stretch of straight highway that we usually take, but my GPS offered to take us another way and save a few minutes. We did. The roads weren't plowed well, but I managed a steady pace of 40mph and we arrived around 2am.

On our way back, we did take that stretch of highway since it was clear at that point. We counted no less than 36 cars (and a handful of semis) all in the ditch and covered in snow, clearly left at least overnight. That could have been us if we'd stayed the course.
