You know you're from Wisconsin (or Minnesota) when you look at the morning temperature before leaving the house, see it's 26 degrees and debate if you need to wear a coat today.
I now am glad I opted to wear it.
I must say it was nice to stop for gas on the way to work and, since it was finally warm enough to loiter outside, I washed the salt off all the windows and headlights. Love me some Spring weather!
Fast forward 2 hours and hubby messages me from home that it is snowing like crazy in Rapids. Say what? I didn't know it was supposed to snow! Turns out we were set to get 3-4 inches or more.
Fast forward another 2 hours and I see I am going to pay for my comments about Atlanta...
Fast forward another hour and I am leaving work at 1 p.m. to make a snowy trek home. Good thing I have learned all those winter driving skills I mentioned yesterday. I needed them.
Robert Frost would love that I took the road less traveled. But that wasn't my intention. It just happened I had no tracks to follow on a state highway and often didn't know which lane I was in. No head-on collisions, thankfully. Just slow and slippery conditions. When I did finally reach the interstate, even that was slow. Saw one vehicle in my rear view mirror fish-tailing -- and I slowed it down even more.
Got home safely and shoveled while hubby manned the snowblower. All's well that ends well, right?
Guess I learned a thing or two about Karma. If you can't say anything nice -- especially about the weather -- don't say anything at all!
