I didn't take my car into work today...snow was in the forecast...so, I leave around 2:46 for what should be a 20 minute drive home. After 10 of those minutes, the storm hit...the roads instantly turned to ice and my drive took over 3 hours to go no more than 10 miles...if that. Cars were sideways, in ditches, upside down, people leaving them in the middle of the intersections...no joke! I was lucky to get home. I actually stopped at a random business park office to use their restroom after having been in a non-moving line of cars for two hours. We had about 5 inches of snow in a blink of an eye.

Now, for those of you in the mid-west, this sounds like kindergarten...but, in Seattle, we have hills and more hills...we have drivers that have NO clue what to do when their cars start to skid...we have SUV jerks who think they are king of the road...only to be hooked to a tow truck down the road...(personally saw an Excursion leave the road in front of me!).

Don't even want to think what my Xfire would have done in this mess...Incidentally, I forgot my cell phone today. Had no way of calling home. When I finally did reach my husband from the business office his response was "Oh, is it snowing???" (He works from home and hadn't been out all day). Made me feel sooo special! He didn't even notice I wasn't home!!!

Geesh!
