You need more snow plows...

a 5 hour drive took 8 hours because of a 2 hour detour since half the streets weren't plowed

YOU need a four wheel drive vehicle.

Lazy ****ers, not like they've been busy or anything.

Snow plows only help if there are people to drive them...

You probably drive one of those "Smart Cars" to save gas, huh?

Welcome to Ames. If you think it's bad, check out Iowa City.

actually, i have a 2008 honda civic, but left it at home

i drove a rav4 down here, but down 80 there was so many semis tipping over the bank that it closed down a major part of the highway

You heard the man, Chris, where's the CycloneFanatic snow plow fleet!

You're the one who apparently decided if was a good idea to drive after they've been saying for a couple days it'd be stupid to try and go anywhere. They aren't the issue for not having enough plows....

I'm sure the blowing snow helps to clear off the roadways, so why should we get more plows?

iowa in general, its 6-8 inches of snow, we arent talking about 2 feet here

On top of two feet. Where do you suggest they put it? Call Superman and have him fly it into space?
"This is a 1981 Honda Civic! How dare you!"

But I'm sure Illinois has snow removal down to a science.

Dude, chill. It's been a crappy winter so far, the road crews are overworked and understaffed. It's going to be sucky, you just have to allow extra time for travel. Or stay home and wait it out if multiple sources say it's going to be bad.

You can get your keys at a later date...just have to call the CA in charge of the floor or the CA on duty on campus and I'm sure an apartment manager would be willing to make accomodations...
