This Weather.....

Is just crazy....but even more crazy are the people who drive in it!

On Saturday I was in Provo at my hair appointment. Throughout, I heard people coming in talking about all of snow coming down. So I thought to myself...well good, I'll be here for a few hours, so it will give some time for the snow plows to get out before I head home.

That is just not my luck. I started heading home, and none of the freeway had been plowed, neither North bound or South bound, and I'm pretty sure it had been snowing for over three hours. I'm also sure that the snow storm had been broad casted fairly heavily on the news. So you would have thought that the snow plows would have been out and about already. No No. They just weren't. I started on my trek home, and found out very quickly that the roads were all iced over. Making it pretty difficult to stop with any sort of quickness. My average speed was between 10 and 20 mph. I'm very glad that I had my Jeep, because I was able to call Robby, and he told me how to put it into four wheel drive. I can't imagine trying to make that trek in a car.

Well my usual 10 minute drive turned into an hour long. On my way I spotted, not one, or even two, but at least ten different accidents on the freeway. Each of which, involved at least three cars each. This is not even counting all of the cars who had spun off the road. The worst of it all was a Dodge truck rolled over on it's side, and another truck lost it's trailer. Luckily everyone seemed to be fine, and were getting adequate help from paramedics and firemen. Long story short, It was RIDICULOUS!!!

It is at this time of the year that I really don't understand some people. It's winter, it's cold, it's windy, making things icy, and all of these condition become much worse if it is snowing. So why is it that everyone still follows one another with only feet to spare in between, and insist on driving at normal freeway speeds?? Do you really think your going to be able to stop in time? We live in Utah for crying out loud, known for sporadic weather, you would think that everyone would know how to react when a snow storm comes in. But from what I saw on Saturday, it appears that the majority of people don't. So please everyone....drive safely. :)

Oh by the way, we got about 2-3 inches of snow at our house... Rob is not happy about it. Hehe.
