So how is everyone doing during the latest snowpocalypse?

9. My husband got stuck last night, had to be towed.

Apparently, if the sheriff's department initiates the tow, it costs more than a regular tow. $107 - ouch.

He normally works until 9, in a building near John Deere's northeast Waterloo site. This is out in a rural area. I probably don't have to paint you a picture of what the roads looked like.

They let them go at 4, but clearly that wasn't early enough. He's a dispatcher for a trucking company.

I think employers who require non-emergency employees to come in when the DOT or police are telling people to stay off roads, should have to bear all costs associated with any problems that causes.

This especially irks me because his job is one that is well-suited for telecommuting.

$107 for a tow, $500 a couple years ago for the deductible when he got hit by a deer, he doesn't get paid enough to have to deal with this crap.
