Warning: Rant Ahead
So having grown up in a town not far from here, which gets slightly more snow than here, I am somewhat disturbed with the lack of adequate road care here in Ithaca.
When I hit the roads this morning, 10AM the day AFTER the storm, I was shocked to find so many MAIN roads still extremely snow-covered and obviously not plowed. Due to my superior snow-driving skills, I only spun out once (quickly remedied by backing up and trying again) but I can't even imagine college students from not-here driving in such conditions. I am thankful for our snow tires, but still, inches of slushy snow in the road do not make for prime driving. I don't understand.
Now I am safely at work, ready to buckle down and get some good work accomplished (to make up for yesterday's unofficial 'snow day') I love being here alone, playing my Norah and just thoroughly enjoying being at work. mmmm.
