Well what a nice morning it is today. LOL Yeah right if you like ice!! LOL!
To the left is a blow up of the weather ma right now lol pink means freezing rain.
Well you all know what my morning drive is like on a good day. Thirty five miles one way to work on a good day sometimes can take as much as 1hr and 20 min.
Well I must say I made it into work in "good time" today but the stress is just nuts. I get very VERY stressed out when Im driving in bad weather. I trust myself but I dont trust the nuts around me. No amount of 4x4 or ABS braking is going to help you on ice. Why do people drive so damn fast in this kind of weather. The other thing that makes me feel uneasy about things is. Up untill the middle to end if last winter I had a MUCH BIGGER CAR. I had a Cadillac DeVille. Because of raising gas prices and maint and age and the miles on the old cady (That was my Fav. car of all time btw & hush I know it was an old mans car) I bought a much smaller Honda. The good thing is it gets great MPG.
The bad thing is I HATE the way the thing handles in any kind of bad weather snow or ice or what ever. You have to understand I went from a car that was about 6,800 lbs (by the car title) to a car that I think is about 2,000 lbs. This in and of itself leads to all kinds of issues in bad weather ie. The car cant PLANT itself on the road in the snow or rain. there just isnt enough weight there I even bought new tires this winter thinking that would help YEAH RIGHT!. I DONT even like the way it feels in the rain. The car in my opinion is a death trap in bad weather. But I really dont have a choice I cant own two cars and Im not going to be a shut in when the weather is bad.
I got off my main topic here a bit my point is I was stressed out. That is until I got to work and got my Fav. morning phone call. Then also on my desk I have a picture of four of the most important people in my life. I look at that picturre every morning when I get to work and this morning was no different. And my stress just melted right away.
Thank God for the little things in life that make it all worth while.
Have a great day!

Am I part of the four?? I have a feeling, I'm not. :(
Glad to hear you made it to work alright... we were watching the election news last night and thinking of you guys in Maryland since the poll closing was delayed by 1 1/2 hours because of the weather. How much snow did you end up getting? Or did it all just turn into ice?
