Didn't the 1989 snow come on Christmas Eve? I left for vacation the morning before it came, and the weather at my destination, Tennessee, was better than in Jacksonville.

 

I had two roommates at that time. One called me after I arrived and said the other one had gone with his girlfriend to her house to get her pets inside. On route they wrecked into the back of a JTA bus that was stranded on the southbound side of the Ortega Bridge. They were only going 35 mph but there was too much ice and too little warning to stop. It messed both of them up pretty bad.
