I can't believe it, it snowed last night. It is almost Thanksgiving (4 days away) and we had our first real snowfall. It is beautiful out fluffy white, shiny and new. I love the first snowfall, it is the ones that come after it I am not to keen about.
The first snowfall, brings to mind the holidays, sledding and all sorts of winter fun. But all to soon the reality of more snowfalls brings the slipping, sloshing, crashing and the mess melting snow brings and worst of all the cold. Oh, you wonder about the crashing....that is the sound of the stupid car drivers who seem to forget how to drive on the snow the first time it is snowy and icy out.
These are the same people that grew up in South Dakota and have driven on the ice and snow all their lives, but when that first snow hits they seem to forget their roots and drive like they have just moved here from Florida. When it is slick out you don't drive 80 miles an hour on the streets, (yes, I am exaggerating) or slam on your brakes at the stop light. Do these dunder heads remember this....nope, they don't and because of their mindlessness, they are being the cause of many accidents that wouldn't have happened if they would have remembered their driving smarts.
Hopefully, by the time I need to go out in this cold and snowy weather, the "Florida" drivers will have remembered that they are from South Dakota, and will be driving sane again. One can only hope!
Until next time, read a book, make love and eat chocolate.
