What the hell? All that snow I wasn't expecting on Saturday. Pouring rain this morning, now it's sleeting.
This weather is messed up. Should be a fun drive home. |

| It's not just residential neighborhoods, I went down Washington around lunch time today and it looked like they hadn't salted at all. Diehl and Naperville Rd. were awful as well.
Aurora hadn't salted at all as of 6:15A, however things are looking good tonight.
With the price of salt up majorly from last year, seems like towns are really conserving. |
