It snowed for a few hours today. First snow accumulation of the season. Not a lot
of snow, but it was cold enough it stuck to the roads pretty well. It was also
somewhat unexpected (no one was forecasting any measurable snow).

For reasons unknown, the traffic was horrible. Lots of gridlock and
other concurrency issues. I suspect the combo of the schools letting
out, and everyone taking advantage of the first snow day of the
year led to pretty much any one with a car on the road at the same time.

The worst thing about the snow? Having to hear over and over
variations of “Southerners can’t drive in the snow”, “I’m
from the north, I’m used to snow”, “4wd helps you go, but doesn’t
help you stop”, “Why are people going to the grocery store for
bread and milk”, “The state has two snow plows and one is busted.”,
etc.

Got it. Don’t care. It’s not new info. It’s not clever. It’s
not interesting. Please shut up.
