If weather is like this...

(sorry for caps, cuz it's a cut-n-paste of a weather advisory)

REMEMBER... A WINTER STORM WARNING MEANS SEVERE WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE IMMINENT OR HIGHLY LIKELY. SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF SNOW... SLEET... AND ICE ARE FORECAST. STRONG WINDS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE. THIS WILL MAKE TRAVEL VERY HAZARDOUS OR IMPOSSIBLE. TRAVEL IS DISCOURAGED. COMMERCE WILL LIKELY BE IMPACTED. IF YOU MUST TRAVEL... KEEP AN EXTRA FLASHLIGHT... FOOD... AND WATER IN YOUR VEHICLE IN CASE YOU BECOME STRANDED. IF YOU LEAVE THE SAFETY OF YOUR HOME YOU ARE PUTTING YOUR LIFE AT RISK. CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE.


If weather is like this tomorrow morning, I will NOT be coming in to work. I don't care if the office doesn't close due to inclement weather. I am not suicidal, and I have enough panic attacks driving in bad weather as it is.

I have me a 30 minute drive. Mostly with idiots surrounding me.

Never fun.

Yeah, I'm certainly thinking twice about driving from Ann Arbor to Dearborn tomorrow.

My drive home wasn't too bad. But it's supposed to get worse. So not looking forward to it. Especially not with the idiots who think "oh, i'm in a big truck/suv and can go 65 down slushy/icy roads without issue". And most of them seem to drive on 23...

The cool thing about those SUV drivers is that they think just because their vehicle can GO in the snow, it can also STOP. They are wrong and wind up in ditches. Then I laugh at them.

Well, yeah. As long as they don't do it when I'm behind them. Then I get cranky with them.
