This was the day Jadie should have stayed home. And he tried to. He called his supervisor on the way to work to ask if he could take a vacation day because his truck was not handling the icy roads well. She said, "No."
So Jadie continued on his way. About 20 miles from home (and 10 miles from work), he was slowing because of a vehicle in front of him. His truck fish-tailed and hit the concrete median head on. He damaged the bumper and lost his license plate on the highway. He had the presence of mind to think to gas it once his truck spun around facing the shoulder. This landed him in the ditch, but thankfully out of the flow of traffic. Praise the Lord, because there was a big rig coming up next.
While waiting in his truck on the side of the road, he called his supervisor again. He told her that he would not be making it in to work that day. She said he would be receive an incident if he didn't come in. An incident is kind of a two strikes to disciplinary action type of thing.
Anyway, he ended up arriving back at home around noon to stay the rest of the day. There was no way he could drive his truck in to work with the roads iced as they were.
This is what the kids did while the yard was full of snow!
