If you take a look out your window on this splendid monday evening, you'll notice what looks like freezing rain or snow. Right now, my window is glazed over with ice so I can't really tell. I keep hearing a little pop-corn like noise that could be rain so we'll assume its rain. I don't know whats worse though. Snow and rain each have their ups and downs. Normally, I'd prefer rain. Theres less mess and it's gone quickly. I used to like snow when I could go out and sled on a nearby hill, but these days I don't do too much playing and more driving. Anyone who's driven in the snow knows that its no fun. Plus, the snow gets all dirty and gross, so I prefer rain.
Anyhow, I just checked and it's twenty five degrees outside. I'm no expert, but water freezes at thirty two degrees and stays frozen if it's less. Because of that, I can expect icy roads tomorrow! I already had to deal with ice today when my car was covered in it. I'm a new driver and so I've only scraped off my car a few times but its harder than I thought. My hands were frozen after I did a poor job on the windshield and I couldn't manage to clear off the side view mirrors (if any of you have some kind of trick please share). The roads were pretty well kept and I had no problems coming home.
Whenever theres snow on the roads, everyone drives very slow and carefully. I hate having to wake up earlier to get to school, but at least the normal idiots on the road are smart enough to slow down. Either that or they get trapped behind the other people driving slowly, so it all works out. Ice, on the other hand, is harder to see so those idiot drivers zoom around without thinking about it. Even expert drivers (like myself) end up sliding at one point. If you listened carefully today, you heard all the sirens going off that I'm sure were for people crashing due to the weather.
Hopefully everyone buckles up and drives safely tomorrow, that is, if theres school tomorrow. Same goes for wednesday as I've heard we're to get a lot of crappy weather tomorrow (tuesday) evening.
One more thing: to everyone that is hoping for a snow day, don't! Think about it, its one day in the middle of the week, what's so great? Oh, I know, we lose part of our four day weekend sometime later this year. For some reason or another, four days off feels better than three, but thats just me.
I pray that your house is warmer than mine! Stay safe the next few days
Good post, but watch your apostrophes. There are a few missing up there.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed your snow days, despite not really wanting them, and stayed warm. I'm sure you're glad it's warmed up a bit. I know I am.
I'm in the same boat with you on this one. I don't like either rain or snow, but I prefer rain (especially if it's warm outside) because of the mess snow makes. When it first snows it may be pretty, but when it starts turning brown there is nothing pretty about it.
ReplyDeleteNice post!
