Please don't snow...

Please don't snow, please don't snow, please don't snow... At least until I get home. And be melted when I have to go to work tomorrow... Is that too much to ask? It doesn't even need to stick to foul up traffic. One person sees a snowflake, and the freeways stop. I've never before lived somewhere that people abandon their vehicles... in 3 inches of snow... in the middle of the intersections. Scary.

(Please don't snow!)

When I lived in Colorado I couldn't believe the accidents that would occur with the first snowfall. I moved from south Florida to Colorado and lived there for 5 years. I hadn't driven in snow (as I left Illinois when I was 15 for Florida), and yet it seemed like I was the only one getting to work unscathed. I found out that a lot of these people had lived in Colorado for years, yet for some reason their reasoning would go out the window when it came to using common sense.

We've had a lot more snow than usual here this year. I'm back in Illinois (southern) and we do get snow, but this year has been unbelievable. I guess it has been other places too.

Yep. Home just fine, and an easy commute this morning (if a little slow). I left the house at 5:40 this morning, in about 2" of snow. When LJ got up an hour later, he couldn't see the tracks from my car. Apparently, it's really coming down up at the house.

I don't have trouble driving in the snow. I got my practice when working at Lassen. There's nothing like driving to work on an unbroken expanse of fresh snow, sometimes over a foot deep. It was so quiet up there, and I could go all day and only see one or two other cars. It was beautiful. What scares me isn't the snow, it's the other people on the road. I wish they'd just stay home. :)

Other drivers scare me in the rain, in the fog, in the sun...

Lol! Paula, I sooooo agree! :)
