Snow Day
Granted, I grew up in Michigan--or as I refer to it down here, the Land of Ice and Snow--but people down here go bat-shiat crazy over bad weather. Mr. Weatherman says a little snow is on the way and people are freaking out. Here’s a snippet of a conversation I overheard this morning.
Person A: Is it really going to be as bad as everyone is saying?
Person 2: Yeah, we’re supposed to get one to three inches starting this afternoon.
Person A: I’m going to get snowed in on my day off.
I have some sympathy for people here. They’re not used to it, I get that. But being snowed in after three inches is just plain ridiculous. Is it really that hard to grasp the concept of slow down and break early? I say that now, but I’ll be just as annoyed when I get stuck behind somebody doing 25 in a 55. Sometimes, the South pisses me off.
