Sorry to hear that. A bad back is nothing to fool around with. No personal experience, but have seen the misery it has put co-workers through. Hope the Docs give you some solution.

We had around 8 inches in Apple Valley through Friday night and Saturday. Sunday morning it warmed and changed from snow to light rain, and the temperatures since have melted down a few inches already. Driving around on Saturday was real fun though - put my snow tires on Friday after work so that was perfectly timed. In the morning I drove from AV to Eden Prairie and back a few hours later. Saw a half dozen people in the ditch who ran out of talent, traction, or both.

Seriously people, proper snow tires are a great investment. Usually $900-1200 will get you a set of snow tires and an extra set of wheels for most any car. They'll last at least 5 years though since you only run them in the winter.

Right on. I grew up in the Twin Cities and it was taught to me at an early age that it doesn't pay to rush. Generally speaking if you leave 15 minutes earlier and you don't rush, you save gas, time and your blood pressure. Now I only live 7 miles from work and if it snows heavy, I leave early, just how early depends on the amount of snow. It's called planning ahead. Good advice about the snow tires and extra wheels too.

Cheers
