It has been nice being off these two days. When it started snowing I was working the score table for the school's basketball game. Got to see an old friend who coaches for the opposing team. Nice.
The drive home and driving since has been ok, but there is one thing that really annoys me about people who drive in/when it snows/has snowed.
I understand that it is annoying to have to clean off the car if you do not have the luxury of a garage/car port/covered parking. But, for real, it is not that difficult.
It bothers me when people don't wipe down the top of their cars or the trunk. The spewing of dust is one thing, but when the stuff starts to freeze, it turns to ice. I have had several occasions where I had ice crusts come soaring toward my car and had to swerve (almost causing an accident) to make sure the chunk did not break through my window. I have had one occasion where I couldn't swerve and it did hit the glass causing a huge crack in the window.
Please, take the extra three minutes to dust off the whole car. It's not like shoveling snow -- you will not have a heart attack by reaching up a little bit. If you have an SUV, get a broom or stand on the entryway into the car.
Thanks, and I apologize for becoming that complaining old woman.
