I too had the snow day yesterday. I did try to make it to work. I live in Delaware and work in Dublin (Ohio) which is noramally a 35 minute drive form my little Sunfire. No major highways, unless you count RT. 257 (no can't really count that). All back country roads so you would think it would be a breeze. Even on a good day a "non-familiar" driver will make me 10 - 15 minutes late.
So, I finally make it up to the Dublin area after about an hour or so and two calls to my boss to let him know I am still coming but I am just past the Cols. Zoo coming up on Hard Road for those familiar with the area when I get a call from my boss telling me to go ahead and turn around because it is going to keep on getting worse. Too Funny - I had to break out in laughter - because I was almost there.....
So, I finally get turned around and start my drive home - another hour later I made it home. I made up a few minutes because I just happen to get turned around and stuck smack behind the snow plow!! Sweet it was - got to go 5 mph faster but it was a consistant speed, not all that of no heere comes opposite traffic I have to slow down cuz I don't know how to drive. Ttop speed of the day 35mph which for me is extremely slow. You know it is a bad road day when I can't get over 30.
Today was a pretty good drive tho....speed limit all the way baby!!! I only had to pass 2 people, ya know the ones I mean. Slow drivers are the worst. If you are too scared to drive then pull over or call in and don't go out side. I grew up in the country where drifts would be 3 - 6 feet and school was hardly ever closed. My bro drove a 69 Camero and taught me how to drive in the snow so it urks me when I get stuck behind. For the record, because I am sure many are saying "how reckless she is and she's the one we see in the ditch wrecked", etc, etc, ...I have never had a snow related accident - not ever!!!
Good times that was - donuts and fishtailin - whew, the good ol'days.
