Stupid icy roads and snow.

I've been on ATOT and playing yahoo chess all day for the last two days.

Well, at least you have the option of staying home. I had to goto work yesterday and today ... and alot of the people driving in this area (Northern Virginia) have no idea how to drive in snow/ice. Both days I was driving, I had people tailgating me for doing 20mph on a 35mph speed limit road with 4" of snow on it and I also had people passing me doing about 45-50mph on the same road. Not too smart imho! At least they didn't hit me.

I hate that. People should have to renew their licenses every six months.

I love driving in the snow. I wish I wasn't in NYC right now Then again, I'll probably get some cool photos of subways in the snow tomorrow morning.

Since Monday, we have been hit by a huge snow storm here in Southern Ontario. Its not supposed to stop until Wednesday sometime. And driving this morning in 4 inches of snow/slush and freezing rain at the same time made going to work a pain.

I love driving in snow too... in an open lot tho, w/ no other ppl to slide in and hit me. today at school somoene was rear ended at a stop light. four wheel drive doesn't protect you from ice folks. and following too closely doesn't help either
