Now, Imagine the commute!
It has been snowing here since last night. Wait... I take that back.
First it started snowing last night. Then at some point, it started raining I mean, pouring. Then it began to snow again. I've been told the snow is very heavy and of course it is... The snow on the ground is holding the water like a sponge. I have also been told it's freezing. I haven't seen weather this bad, here in Syracuse, in December, in a long while. Past few winters and perhaps longer than that, it's been mild in December. Snow comes, snow goes. Sometimes we don't have a "White Chrsitmas", but it seems inevitable this year.
In the past, I didn't like the winter because I'd spend many days stuck out waiting for public transportation in it. Where ever I was going, once I got there, I'd end up spending part of the day in partially cold and wet clothes. I am a master of bundling up, but once the snow finds a way, game over. This year, it's not so much ending up wet that bothers me, it's driving in it. It's not easy! I'm a careful guy, I don't like breaking things or crashing, but it's harder to be careful in a vehicle that weighs several hundred pounds (possibly a ton?).... Especially with two wheel drive and shitty all season tires. I take it slow. I'm learning the tricks, but I can't say that for everyone around me. If you've driven or read any of my past posts, even everyday driving can be wrought with problems. I just hope I can get through this season without any accidents. I'm trying my very best to be careful.
If anyone has any advice, even though I may have heard it before, I'd be happy to hear it again.
