I grew up at the foot of Mt. Rainier and have seen my fair share of snow. Oh boy do I miss it!<BR/><BR/>Yesterday it was about 40* and a little foggy, and I can't tell you how many times I was cut off, caught behind a line of cars in every lane driving 20 mph in a 50 zone, or other just plain crazy stuff. I can't stand Texas drivers when it's not sunny and hot. Nobody down here it seems knows how to drive in bad weather.Courageous Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732659926475145139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5499281160568743682.post-78862150249548384252008-12-17T20:09:00.000-05:002008-12-17T20:09:00.000-05:00I can not get you email to work.

I wish I were in Omaha. Just smelling the new snow is a jou in of itself. Combine the smell with the fresh scent of pine trees and its heaven, or Lucys Narnia.......Enjoy the snow June.

Well, we don't drive in it.<BR/><BR/>Your tale of your father made me think of the Paper Lace song "The Night Chicago Died." And when was Chicago not corrupt?

I KNOW when I have Strep Throat. I spent most of the night crying in pain watching the snow fall. We woke up and shoveled out the driveway (yes I shoveled with strep) as the temperatures rose above freezing. I showered and hit the road to Bethesda so I could get on antibiotics ASAP. The nurse on duty at the ER LECTURED me about driving from Ashburn to Bethesda in the snow and endangering my life and other people's lives just for a sore throat! Lady I am from BOSTON, not Georgia. I KNOW how to drive in the snow AND by 11 all the highways were clear. I sure hope she felt bad when my culture came back positive and she realized it wasn't JUST a sore throat! Enjoy driving in the snow where people know how to drive in the snow. Maybe we need to move to Omaha... ;-)Sageyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15237148177842028666noreply@blogger.com
