day 9766

For all you out there who doesn't have snow yet.

           So it started snowing yesterday but it didn't stick. Then it rain, after that it froze and then it snowed. It wasn't snowing this morning when I went to work but it spent most of the day lightly snowing. When I got off at 5 it was nice and dark and freezing rain mixed with snow. Not so fun to drive in it. I really don't mind snow and driving in snow isn't really all that bad but I prefer to do it in daylight sans the ice. Some people get super happy about it which frankly I don't understand. Sure it can be pretty but it melts and then freezes and then you get to drive on ice with idiots who don't know what they are doing during the day little lone in the dark. Now if I didn't have to drive in it or only during the daylight it wouldn't make me quite so cranky. But as it is I am cranky. Then again it would be nice if I didn't have to drive five miles out of town to get my kids in the dark and then drive five miles back to town and then through town in it in the dark. It should wait to snow until the last week of December when I don't have to work and therefore won't have to drive in it in the dark. Oh did I mention it is still snowing. A nice solid layer of snow to protect that ice on the roads and make sure it doesn't melt.  Tomorrow morning should make interesting for driving to work. This morning wasn't even bad and there was multiple accidents with injuries, tomorrow will probably be worse. Poor DH got stuck doing OT at his job because of call ins. He got a split but it means he has to drive in it around 3 am. No fun for him I am sure. Not that it bothers him, all the years of driving in Alaska I am sure. Personally it takes me awhile to adjust to having to drive in it. Hope all your Mondays were swell.
