Snow-weathermen-SNOW!

When you predict snow we rarely get it or it gets diverted another way... when you don't predict snow or call it a passing 'snow shower' roads become dangerous and accidents pile up everywhere! Did I mention there were 13+ accidents on the turnpike between Lansdale and Quakertown (ok can't take the turnpike to work), oh and 663 was closed between the turnpike and Rt. 309... really can't go that way now... I don't dare go down windy, twisty, hilly Allentown Road, so back way to Rt. 309. "Smooth sailing" if you consider going extremely slow until I heard on KYW that there was an accident at Unionville Pike and Rt. 309... my turn-off road was about 1/2 mile before Unionville Pike crosses Rt. 309. Think I'd be ok... NOPE! The back-up started right before the Souderton exit and when I say we sat and sat and sat, then creeped, then sat, and sat and sat then creeped.... My usual 25 minute ride turned into an hour and 15 minute ride to work. Yuck!!! I am thankful that no one hit me, I did not hit anyone, and I remained on the road. I'm still wondering if the areas surrounding my house own a salt truck!! Thank goodness my ride home was harmless... go figure barely a flake left on the ground.... I LOVE snow WHEN I don't have to drive in it!

oh... and thank goodness I didn't have the kids with me!
