It occurred to me that I have my own blog so I can rant about this effin snow...

Hey if you love snow fine but know this:  I hate winter, snow, ice and being cold.  I love the change of seasons, but would be glad if winter lasted oh, maybe ONE day.  I am happy when December 21st passes because I know that after the winter solstice, the days start getting longer again.

Anyway, here's the latest rant.

My husband drove a tractor trailer for thirty five years.  In all kinds of weather, and every day, winter, summer, spring and fall, and on almost every holiday.  When he drove in this kind of weather, I wasn't worried about him, as he was (and is) a professional driver.  I worried about all the other asshats who don't know how to drive in dry weather, let alone this snow crap.  I spent alot of sleepless nights when he worked, even when I had to get up myself the next day for work.

That is part of the reason I hate winter.  Now, a son of a very close, dear friend of mine is a tractor trailer driver.  And Lou is a volunteer fire policeman.  So they both get to be out in all kinds of weather.  Here's the thing...  Some people are out in this, thinking "Oh boy, wheee it's snowing and I got four wheel drive so I can go ANYWHERE and do ANYTHING just like its dry outside because NOTHING can happen to ME."

Well guess what, dumbass.  ICE is not picky about what kind of vehicle you're driving.  An 18 wheeler fully loaded can SLIDE on the ice.  YOU cannot drive your almighty four wheel drive like some invincible a-hole.  You will endanger yourself, but most of all you endanger PEOPLE I LOVE.

Anyone who knows me knows this:  If you do ME wrong, well, fine.  If you lie to me, I have not a second to spare you.  But if you hurt or do wrong to someone I love...  you might as well be dead because you are, to me.  So I'm NOT ok with you four wheel drive idiots out there endangering those I love.

Maybe now, if you care, you will understand why I carry on so when it snows.  And I don't care that people make fun of me for hating winter...  this is why.

So yeah, it looks pretty but if you don't know how to drive in it, please do everyone including yourself a favor, and stay the #(*&*#@ home.  Don't endanger yourself or SOMEONE I LOVE.

If you do have to go out, if you see signs saying ROAD CLOSED, or ROAD FLOODED or DO NOT ENTER... yes, the sign means YOU too.  Don't endanger first responders' lives because you think you're so effin special that your stupid four wheel driving ass can drive anywhere.  You can't.  So don't.

Lastly... I hate winter.  So there.  :)
