@sirstuck because states like Tennessee have little idea how to deal with major winter storms.
Years ago there was a FedEx commercial showing one of its delivery vans slipped off pavement and stuck in mud. FedEx manager got call from driver, took taxi to stuck van location and loaded as many packages as she could into the taxi to complete delivery. That wouldn't sell me on FedEx.

Did you ever enjoy yourself when stuck while driving a bus?

Never much into buses or into snow stucks, but our school bus began going down into a steep valley somewhere around 1947 which was a very bad Winter. I was only six. Usually I sat over the rear driving wheels because there it didn't sway about so much. The sensation of spinning wheels n=beneath me was overtaken by anxiety that we might not get up the hill. I remember the driver making several attempts at it. Eventually he tipped us all out. The attraction, though, was the driver, Stan. He was a short guy in dark serge jacket and trousers, driver's cap with a shiny peak framing his classic square-jaw face, and a pair of black rubber wellington boots turned down slightly at the tops revealing the pale canvass interiors, trousers stuffed into the tops and blousing out over them. I remember him hanging out of the driver's door watching his wheels spinning whilst he hit the pedals with his wellingtons. I was filled with awe, riveted by the sight, which I rehearsed time and time again when eventually I found out what it was all about.
