Hooray for snow!!

Today, it's snowing. We have a good 2 inches I'd say, and it's still kind of snowing. On the way to work this morning, about 5 miles from home, we make a left turn onto another road, then hit the highway. Well, this other road, Hatch, is a hill. And as we came to the stop sign, there were about 6 cars ahead of us waiting to turn. Looking to the right, up the hill, I saw a couple cars stopped and along the side, then up a hundred yards, another two cars stopped. There was a whole line of cars slowly making their way down the hill as well. So we waited and waited. We got to see one car slide in the ditch, another car behind that one slide sideways and barely stop before it hit the other one. Then we saw a school bus have to slow and stop for cars going up the hill, the it started sliding back, and it slid sideways, across the road, into the oncoming lane, and then into the ditch. Then another school bus came up behind that one, but backed up and stopped.

So, we finally made it out, with busses chaining up and cars sliding along the road... kind of fun, yet a bit scary. I don't want to get run into.

i wonder if we can get a new car out of it if someone tuns into us.
maybe we should be driving your car.

wow! i am shocked that the bus didn't have its chains on. did the kiddies pour out of the bus or was it empty already?
it is kinda fun to watch people slide around as long as nobody gets hurt =).

around here the worse the conditions get the faster people drive. I hate that.
