Winter has officially arrived and it arrives with a swing from the hammer of Mother Nature. The roads are undrivable and the state has officially closed 106 schools due to hazardous weather conditions. This will be my second "real" winter and it still amazes me how people can tolerate such conditions. If anything, the snow is just an inconvience, where it tends to make things go slower or take longer. For instance it takes me a little longer in the morning to get ready because I need to heat the car and scrape the ice off of my windshield. Once this task is done, I slowly leave to work with the paranoa of not sliding into anything on the way there. Everyone else drives slow and it seems that everyone is a lot more patient on the road.
Come to think of it, maybe the snow isn't so bad. If it wasn't for the bone chilling conditions that make my teeth chatter, I actually think it's pretty peaceful driving to work without being rushed. The snow does make things go slower and that's not be such a bad thing...now if I could only find those roses that I'm suppose to stop and smell. They must be buried in the 6 inches of snow...oh well, back to scraping the ice off my windshield.
