Drive Faster, it's JUST snow!

So here it is April. April the 11th. And there's snow. Only two weeks ago it was in the 70's and I was wearing sandals, yet here it is, after Easter, and there's snow. And not just nice powdery snow. This snow is wet. And heavy. It's a pain to brush of your car, because it clumps onto the brush. Good packing snow, if you're a kid and you like to pack snow.

But that's not my point today. My point is that when it snows, people drive like morons. That's not to say that they drive normally when there isn't snow. No, there will always be moron drivers. I'm saying that when it snows, it makes it about 5 times worse.

I think there should be a law about how slow you can drive when there's snow. Like, let's say, 1 inch or under, you can drive around 5 miles under the speed limit, but no more. 2-6 inches, 10-15 miles under the limit. More than that, you should just not bother driving at all. You'd be able to walk faster (although you'd be cold).

But under NO circumstances should a driver EVER drive 30 miles under the speed limit (especially if the speed limit is 30 mph -- or even 20mph -- don't ask how that's possible, but when there's snow, miracles of slow driving happen).

Anyways, I eventually made it to work today. And i'm alive. No thanks the moronic drivers who go so slowly they might as well be not moving (or even moving backwards!)
