Crying Wolf
Well, don’t I feel like an ass? I was due at work a little after 10AM. I woke up at 8, looked outside, saw snow falling fast, the driveway, AND the road covered. I checked the news, and our weather outlook showed snow at 8AM, 12PM, 3PM, and 5PM. I called out of work, thinking THAT kind of snow was going to continue throughout the day. I mean, I really can’t risk wrecking my car and all that comes along with that, and I already know the car can’t handle snow. Or I can’t handle the car in snow, whichever it is. And now? At noon we still have snow falling, but everything is off the road. There isn’t much accumulation at all. There was more snow a few weeks ago when I *did* go into work. (In my defense, it WAS warmer that day, so a given that nothing was on the road at that time). I totally could have made it. I still don’t know what the drive home would have held, but for now, I feel really stupid.
The weather is always either nowhere near as bad, or far, far worse, than whatever is forecasted. It’s frustrating.
