No matter how good of a driver you think you might be, no one can compete with ice. Snow, I can handle. Fact is, I love to drive in the snow, granted that it’s not so deep that it will stop the little red car dead in its tracks. The thing about ice is that not only is it hard to drive your own car, but you have to worry about anything else that moves around you. That pedestrian running across the street? If they slip and fall, how soon can you stop before you run them over? And that huge sand truck with the snow blade on the front of it? I’d like to thank that driver for getting it under control before we met head on.
The ice has been horrible in the last few days. The next couple do not look much better. The FM tower is having issues, and a total collapse is not out of the question. Should be an interesting end to this week.
