Could it be that only a crazy person like me would even attempt to drive to work on such a morning? I sort of noticed there wasn't a single other car on the street but it didn't cross my mind that I should or shouldn't drive. I got in my car at 6:47 am and was surprised by the white that blanketed the driveways and parts of the street. It didn't stop me from getting into the car and defrosting the windshield. I even drove down my street when I realized...I can't do this.
I turned around at the end of the street and had a moment when the car wouldn't move. Dang these inclines! I knew I had problems with the inclines when I run along this route but I was in the car?! I didn't think I was going to be able to move my car over the incline to get back home. The car was sliding and not moving. I kept trying and it would sway and I would try and finally, finally it moved. I made it home and will have to wait.
I know by northern standards this isn't much. I know. But here, we don't have equipment that prepares the streets so you can drive through these conditions. Here, if this happens - which it never does - we close the streets and wait for it to melt. That's it. That's all we can do.
This is so wrong.
