Snow you say?!

I'm from the Midwest, Ohio to be exact, and I'll admit it, we LOVE to talk about the weather.  And yes, this post is about just that...the NASTY weather we're having in Central MA right now.  While we love to talk about the weather, we do not like to drive in it!  While I'm usually OK with snow driving (I did live in Northern MI where they get obscene amounts of snow well into Spring, and I do have a Subaru which can drive in just about anything,) I'd rather be safe and keep my Suuby the same way. 

So this morning, I knew it had snowed, I could see it out my window and I started the drive to work with a little extra caution.  Just as Adam and I (he in his car) were turning out of our apt. complex, he proceeded to donut in the middle of the road.  I started to worry a little, but kept going.  I slid almost off the road, and I was less than a mile from home, but no biggie, the highway will be better I thought.  So, I get on the expressway and turn right back around.  We were moving less than 20 miles per hour (mind you, the average highway speed in MA is 75mph) cars were sliding everywhere, including mine, and after 2 exits I said, just kidding!!  I'm giving myself at least a 2 hour delay...maybe longer.  All of the schools around here are closed, but as you get to Sudbury (24 miles away) it's just rain...weird how that works.

Thankfully we have garage...at least for my car

  1. Ugh. That is exactly why I am over the snow. Driving in it is the absolute worst! I would have turned around too.
