TOLEDO, OHIO -- One Toledo woman says it's like soup, driving across the city.  The roads are snowpacked and slippery.  For some, even scary.  But many drivers are taking the conditions in stride,  After all, they say, we live in the Midwest.   

There was a frightening situation in Rossford Wednesday when a mail carrier, nine months pregnant, slid off I-75 and onto the mail truck's side.  She's believed to be okay, but is at a hospital as a precaution. 

Other stranded drivers were not in near as much danger.  One parts-delivery man, spent part of his day spinning his tires at The Original Pancake House on Secor and Central. Steve Krupar says, "I think i might actually need some manpower here help push me off here, I just keep sliding off the side." 

Some good samaritans, including Ryan Daly from Erie, Michigan, gave Krupar a shove.  "He apparently got stuck in a snowdrift there left by city plows or something."  Other drivers at the restaurant refused to let the weather get in the way of their day.  Sharon Stump drove in from Temperance, Michigan, "Its my mother's 73rd birthday, so nothing was keeping me away.  I baked her a cake, and I have flowers and I'm coming out to surprise her." 

Larry Kowalski of Toledo took advantage of his daughters snow day to have some crepes and an omelet. "Her school is cancelled obviously so we decided to come to one of our favorite restaurants."

Most drivers are convinced, if we all just take our time, you won't end up like Jim Collins, a comic book store owner.  He fishtailed right off I-75 South in Perrysburg right before 475 turnoff. "Probably doing about 30, 35 here as I was accelerating on the exit ramp here and I just lost control." He stayed warm by shoveling himself out, waiting for a tow truck to pull his Thunderbird out of the snow.  "I'm trying to dig out a little bit hopefully that will mean less work that they hopefully have to do."

A lot of drivers were also out trying to buy a snowblower.  They claim the snow's just too deep to shovel.
