Battling the snow!!!!


Well today there was yet another snowstorm and yet again I had to go to work. Everyday I embark on my 117km (all highway) commute to work which usually takes me about 1 hour. But today I was lucky enough to experience a 3 hour commute to work....damn I am dedicated. I know for sure there will be people calling in sick due to weather that live much much closer than I do, some may call them smarter than me but I just call them weak. I mean sure, driving in snow sucks but seriously deal with it! Just drive a little slower or leave a little earlier to ensure you arrive on time or in a timely fashion. If your going to be late then call your boss and advise them of your situation, believe it or not they probably already know it is snowing!!!

Tips for drivining in the snow:
1) drive slower
2) stay in one lane
3) use the most travelled lane
4) pull off the highway to clean your wipers
5) have a cellphone in case of emergency
6) pay attention
7) be sure you have enough gas for longer travel
8) have a shevel in the trunk in case you get stuck
9) change lanes well before you exit

Now I know the above are just a few tips and please do with them what you may but seriously don't let a little snow determine how you will spend your day.

Soon enough I will be heading home and once again battling the snow....wish me luck that it once again does not take me 3 hours.

Be safe;
