Default OT - Wes, snowed in?

How are you doing up there, Wes? The weather map suggests that you got both
the big storm and some lake-effect snow, with hellish winds causing
whiteouts. Everything OK?


Yesterday I drove into work via the Braille method. One wheel on the center rumble cuts
while I looked out the side window to see where the other side of the road was. Looking
out the windshield was pretty useless except for figuring clearances between me and
oncoming traffic.

Half way, I got passed by a pickup, I thought cool, something to follow. That lasted two
miles until he stopped to pull someone out of the ditch.

Shortly after, I caught up to a 4x4 and he pulled over to let me go by. I was really
hoping he would play lead dog for a while.

Made it to work on time.


Today was better. It was calm during my drive time in and it was still daylight during
periods of poor visibility due to blowing snow on my way home.

I'm home, drive way snow blown open again, car pointed the right way for leaving in the
morning. This really isn't Saturn SL weather.
