Oh, the weather outside is frightful......

Well, the weather itself isn't too bad, but the roads suck the big one REALLY bad. :o
We got ourselves some of that wet, heavy snow this evening.
On my way into work tonight I got behind a car that was doing about 35 mph in the 60 mph zone. Of course the passing lane wasn't plowed, so I carefully pulled into that lane and tried to get around him/her. The A**hole proceeded to speed up. WTF? So I pulled back in behind him/her so of course he slowed back down again. So back into the unplowed lane I went and tried to pass the SOB. I got up next to him/her and they proceeded to keep up speed with me so I couldn't get around them. WTF??? So I spent a 2-3 miles or so in that crappy lane, trying not to get pulled into the ditch or into the car beside me because of the heavy slushy snow. Finally I got about half a car length in front of this idiot and put my turn blinker on. He/she finally got the hint and backed way off and I pulled into the fairly plowed lane. After that I could see another vehicle try to go around the idiot and he/she must have pulled the same crap with them because eventually they pulled back in behind this car.
I think we have had worse storms/weather this Winter, but I think this was my worst drive into work so far.

The weather forecast calls for more of this lovely stuff over the next few days.
I REALLY need to get a new/newer car. Anybody want to make me a loan? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am really hoping they will get out during the night and get them cleaned up a little better.
Thank you. :)

Around here, life nearly stops when a couple snowflakes hit the ground :o

A few weeks ago the forecast announced in the most dramatic tones that we might get as much as 10-15inches of snow and even storms with temperatures dropping close to -20celsius (that's like -4F) as if a meteor was about to crash into Hungary LOL

LOL........
Did you get that much snow?

This year we have been spoiled. We have such little snow so far.

[bozotkutya.livejournal.com]

Yup, about 10inches and not-too-serious storms. But the temps really dropped, we had some nights reaching -20C We've had very light winters these years, but I do remember really cold and snowy ones from earlier. Now it's all melting with the necessary slush and mud :(

It can be nice while it's here, but when it starts to melt? UGH..........

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I don't think snow tires would have helped. New car would be more help. LOL.........

Hope the thaw comes along soon for you.

Thankfully the highway this morning was fine. :)
Unfortunately, there is snow in the forecast for several upcoming days. :o

I would have been so tempting to just smack him with my piece of crap car. :p

[ellierachael.livejournal.com]

Urgh I hate drivers who behave like that! I always gets ones who overtake me just to slow down to slower than I was travelling - it drives me mad

I would love to be able smack 'em with my piece of crap car. :p
