12 inches of snow in southern Wisconsin. I spent the night in Madison at a friends house because I had a morning exam. After 12 inches of snow I tried to get home. I tried my normal route and I couldn't get closer than 6 miles away from my house. The roads were unplowed and had 4 foot drifts going across. I tried another route and after blasting through many drifts hitting them at about 40 mph I was able to get 1 mile from my house. I parked my car at the neighbors farm and walked the rest of the way to my house. The plow finally came through almost 24 hours later and I was able to retrieve my car.

I agree the media sensationalizes the storms like it is the end of the world. The meteorologists must be a boring group and need look at these snow falls as their time to "spice up" there otherwise boring job.
