I can't tell you how many times the snowplows have saved me. They've gotten me to work in deplorable conditions, and gotten me home safely when the weather conditions were so bad I shouldn't even have been on the road.

Just a few weeks ago I had the good fortune of following one on highway 53 during a white out with extremely slippery road conditions. Last Christmas eve another snowplow came to my rescue. It took me 2 1/2 hours from Duluth to the Lake Nebagamon cutoff. Had it not been for the snowplow driver, I probably would have been stranded.

They are the unsung heroes of the roadways, and more often than not, don't get the credit they deserve.  If it were up to me, I'd give them all the day off, with a good size bonus to boot. Why not? They help save our lives. Kudos to you all, the Rayman luvs ya baby!
