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.

'Glad to hear all is well. It sounded bad -- and familiar.

I hate driving in whiteouts, something that happened to me often in
Michigan, particularly when I drove up to Boyne Highlands to go skiing. And
I was driving an MG Midget in those days. It could have gotten lost in the
tread pattern of the snow blower trucks. d8-)
