Flashback Friday: Wild winter weather sidelines drivers in 2008

On this week’s Flashback Friday, we look back at the aftermath of a blizzard from December 21, 2008 that left cars in ditches all over the QCA.

MOLINE, Ill. — Do you remember the blizzard that blew in on the first day of winter in 2008?
