I love snow. I really do. I like how the untouched snow blankets the earth and makes it appear pristine and beautiful.

Snow is glorious.

But it’s also a pain. Only because we have too many people moving here who have NEVER driven in snow.

I’ve been driving in snow my entire adult life. I know how to do it and how to do it well. Okay, well can be subjective, I suppose.

I don’t think people realize that when they are going 10mph down a highway because they don’t know how to drive in snow that it is just as dangerous as driving as if there were no road hazards.

I don’t think they understand that.

And what is this thing about driving as close as possible to one another, in single file lines, down a road? There are 2 lanes, people! Use them! Don’t make it dangerous for the rest of us simply because you don’t know how to drive in snow!

Sheesh.

On a cheerful note, we got our first snowfall last night. And it’s beautiful.
