For those of you from St. Louis, waking up this morning and seeing the light dusting of snow made you all groan if you commute...didn't it?
I love the Lou....I think it is a great place in these days to raise a family..and I already mostly know my way around:P However, like every city, it has it's quirks. And one of the big ones is weather. Not just the fact that it is completely unpredictable from day to day, let alone hour to hour, but it is the fact that somehow weather seems to make people here forget how to drive. I'm not at all kidding on that one.
On a normal morning when I watch the morning news and they give the traffic updates for the "rush", there are 2-5 areas usually, and that doesn't necessarily mean accidents even, just areas where it is slower for some reason. And even occasionally, usually during the summer when there are no school buses and therefore just that much less traffic, there are no areas of concern for a given 20-30 minute time period!
But...you throw in rain, and it is a mess, you throw in a bit....and I do mean bit ...of snow and people panic and drive even worse! The morning commute maps are crazy! The last check up didn't even put everything up because it was too full!!!!!!
Just thought I'd share that with you and my sympathies for those that had to drive in that this morning. I am so very glad these days that I don't:)
Blog ya later-
