Pray for me. I'm driving to Minneapolis in near-blizzard conditions.
235 miles total. Weather reports say it's smooth sailing once you get to St. Cloud. I sure damn hope so. I've never got stuck in a ditch in the 4 years I've been driving, and I damn well better not get stuck in one on this drive.

I'll reply back once I get there.

PRAY!!!

1. Asking for prayer should tell you it's too risky.
Your corpse should be preserved by the cold until spring when you can have an open casket.

2. It's only light snow here
Can you postpone your drive for a day or two?

3. I made it safe!!!
Driving conditions were better than I thought. Just a lot of wind and blowing snow. I didn't see a single car in the ditch on I-94.

PHEW!!!

5. oh jeez
at least ND/MN puts their snow plows out to keep up with the snow. I lived in IL for a few years and (where I lived) they waited until it was done snowing before they even thought of doing anything about the roads.

I'll be making my way up to ND for Christmas from CO. Hopefully the weather won't be bad.

6. I sure hope this is a mandatory trip!
I hope you're not going to drink some beers or something.

Good luck!

7. You have a cell phone, blankets, water, an emergency kit RIGHT?
You just pay attention and never accelerate on ice Ok. Let us know when you get there. You'll be fine though and I'll pray for you.

8. Dear heavenly shepherd, please watch over SmileyBoy
as he makes his perilous journey to far away lands. Ooooooh let his car be swift and dry the roads before his tires. In Jebus name, I pray.

Amen.
