Snowy drive getting back home from work Friday

Friday's snow storm didn't arrive in Columbia until after 7amCT which meant several people went on to work, like Jackie Montgomery who shared photos from her journey for work as an interpreter in Casey County at Tarter USA in Dunville.

She shows in her photos, linked to this note, what the roads were like in the snowfall on her return around lunchtime.

As this story is posted at 5:46pmCT, we are under a snow downpour.
