Holy freakin snow!Follow

#1 Dec 19 2009 at 5:34 AM Rating: Good
So I make the treacherous drive into work this morning through the great commonwealth of VA and holy freakin snow!

3 cars in the ditch on the way in...snow plows sittin on the side of the road I suppose waiting for further accumulation...I'm yankin the e-brake gettin sideways to have a little fun

Only confident enough to do 35 the whole time in my little Sentra Spec-V

SUV's moving right along probably 45-50 (on the highway) and this highway road wasn't black, it was white, and so was every road, they were covered with probably a good 1/2 - 1 inch of snow...and this is after they've already plowed because you can see the sides of the road and the mounds and all that

And the weather people say its suppose to get worse this afternoon! This 12 hour shift might turn into a 24 hour shift :\ meh, more overtime pay Smiley: cool

Anyone else on the east coast driving through the snow today?

I had to work yesterday and today in the same conditions here on the Jersey Shore (and I can't talk about my location anymore without including: **** MTV). I get all the way to a coworker's house this morning to pick her up because her apartment complex was completely snowed in, and the minute I pull up I get a call from my assistant manager saying that everyone was told to stay home except for me and one other person who were able to dig out this morning and already on the road. Lovely Sunday for me. Home now though, so it's all good. Merry xmas all!

Whether I can actually drive in it or not, I use it as an excuse to work from home when it's like this.

Especially since, as you pointed out Rig, most people in VA don't know how to drive in it, and I don't trust them.

make that anybody who lives in or around a city >.>

Because i guarantee you anybody who lives further out from an urban area expects bad snow and driving conditions. People from around cities have the convenience of salt trucks most of the time, which I think contributes to the " not knowing how to drive on snow and ice" factor

But this is my 2 cents from what I've seen in the midwest >_>

I'm trying to picture her holding a racket instead of a camera, and it's just not working out.

Here's what I got to see when I looked out the window Christmas night.

My roommate's car is under there somewhere.

And this was a very mild storm for here.

And if you add some strawberries, you'll end up with a gateau fraises cake! :9
