Uuuuugh. I was talking to my friend qualapec last night while on the parking lot that was Route 202 and she said that they have the same issues on the West Coast, too. This leads me to the logical conclusion that anyone who lives along a coast line needs to learn how to freakin' drive.
Pele... they CLOSED places today! Schools and work and all that. I can see the freakin' asphalt! There is no ice! All the snow has melted! WHY IN GOD'S NAME ARE PLACES CLOSING DOWN?!
Last year, we got hit with two decent blizzards, culminating in about four feet of snow each time. In the ten years I've lived in Delaware, that is the WORST I've ever seen it. My first winter out here with my dad (we're originally from Michigan), people were carrying on about getting studded tires and loading up on salt and, oy vei we were going to be SHOCKED by what an East Coast Blizzard looks like!
And we were. We were shocked by about two inches of snow, and by noon we were laughing our asses off as people struggled to navigate through it. Then we took the car to a parking lot and spun some snow wheelies. It was a glorious day.
And then there were all the assholes on the road! You know, the people in those giant damn 4x4s that think because they are BIG they can drive ANYWHERE THEY WANT DAMN IT. Like on a narrow shoulder where they almost took out the side mirror on my new car. I discovered last night that those things are on a flexible bendy strip thing. Thank. God.
Mmm... turkey stew. I just ate chicken cordon bleu soup (it was tasty) but stew sounds soooo much better. *joins in spirit, because will be dead by dinner*
Good grief. I am of the belief that unless a person lives in a Lake Effect zone, and can accept and identify at least 15 different forms of natural snow, they have not truly experienced winter. We had a storm so bad 3 years ago people had to exit their homes on skis and in snowshoes out the 2nd story window.
These "storms" elsewhere fill me with snarkiness and yes, their driving fills me with disdain.
Mark had a coworker come up from Mississippi a few years ago. She actually asked him to take her into the parking lot to teach her how to drive in winter because she was *so* bad. She loved doing donuts so much that she became quite the pro.
Studded tires? Where the hell do they think they live? The tundra? lmao
No death. Death not allowed for you.
First of all, we need to meet at some point just to see if our combined awesomeness will create a lapse in the time-space continuum.
And because I need to read more Clara!!!
Sleep though. I highly recommend it. Sleep is good. *hug*

Hope you feel better, too!
