Wisconsin Governor Declared Snow-Day for UW-Green Bay on December 9, 2009; But, Dr. Chen's car was in the ditch the first time in the United States.
I have been at UW-Green Bay since 2002. Even I had gone through many blizzard, UW-Green Bay never closed its school. But the blizzard on December 9, 2009 was a bit of different. The Governor of Wisconsin declared a snow-day for UW-Green Bay campus.
Dr. Chen, however, was ignorant about checking the news in the computer in the morning. I left home for school at approximately 9:00 AM. Actually, the road conditions were not that bad in Appleton. However, as I was driving into the Brown County, the visibility drops almost to zero and the road was actually not drivable. As I passed Exit 156 on North-Bound Highway 41, I went into the ditch. Fortunately, I had my celluar phone with me. Calling-up 911, a police car came and took me to a near-by gas station. This is the first time that Dr. Chen drove a car into a ditch since he had been in the United States in 1971.
Beyond that 'exciteent' evreything else was fine. The car has to be towed on the next day. I am safe and fine.
