2. I drove through the first round of that Sat night

Middle of Milwaukee around 8:30 pm.

Hit the second round in the exact same area Sunday around 11am. That wasn't as bad, being daylight hours.

I'm from Minnesota and I've driven through some pretty gnarly blizzards, but I've never been so scared driving in all my life. I could barely see the road Sat night, and my arms were shaking by the time we got back to our hotel. In retrospect, I really should have pulled over at least a half dozen times, but I was afraid the roads would flood out and we'd be stranded.
