Snow + Driving =/= Good
Dec. 4th, 2007 11:28 amIt is snowing today. The snow is white and cute and fluffy. Adorable little December-appropriate flakes.
I do not want it. *sigh*
Normally I am a huge booster for season appropriate weather.
But this is the first year where I will not be taking mass transit or employing foot power as my main method of getting to work.
I have a new car and a new license. And I will be driving to work. Today. In the snow. For the first time.
*grr* *twitch*
Snow was cuter when I walked in it. I've had 25+ years to get used to the idea of walking in snow. I have had 3 days to get used to the idea of driving in snow.
Plus, I know that the worst that happens if I slip and fall in snow is a bruised hip (I'm pretty good at falling - all that aikido was good for something). Cost to fix= $0.
Possible things that could happen and potential costs to fix these unknown things if something goes wrong while driving? Unknown.
