While people had a difficult time getting home Thursday night, they woke up Friday morning to find the roads just as treacherous for their morning commute.

"I drove around downtown and it was pretty crazy," Anthony Schultz said. "As soon as I hit Browne's Addition I got stuck; it's been horrible."

Schultz drives an '87 Chevy Chevette - he says "it's not the best in the snow" - and he needed help getting his car home this morning.

His neighbor Sarah Allison had to dig hers out of a snow bank.

"There was about much along the sides that you could actually see the car," she said.

While plow trucks had arterials running smoothly come Friday morning many Spokane area drivers were on their own dealing with snowy side roads, where the toughest part wasn't the commute so much as just pulling away from the curb.

"A lot of cars sliding around, backwards, forwards, sideways," driver John Woodall said.

One of the cars that didn't look like it was going to be moving was Anthony Schutlz's Chevette.

"I got studded tires so that does help a bit, it doesn't have weight behind it," he said.

But then a Good Samaritan, Jeff Nitschke, stopped to give him a hand getting out.

"It's what you do; it's the right thing to do," Nitschke said.

"It was wonderful, he was walking by ran right up and more than willing to help. There's a not of nice people here, that's why we live in Browne's Addition," Schultz said.
