Snow And Other Four Letter Words

I am so not a fan of snow. I mean sure it's fun if it happens on a Sunday and you can round up some kids to go sledding. It can be fun if you've got a snowmobile and you get to rip through some fields. Even Cross-Country skiing is a pleasurable activity.

The general everyday reality of it though? Meh, not so much.

Shoveling snow, with snot dripping down your face and sweat dripping into your ass crack whilst wheezing like an old tom cat? Meh, not so much. 

Brushing snow off of your car, scraping ice or worse trying to thaw out frozen doors? Meh, not so much. 

I get that winter comes just like spring, summer and fall. I get that I only have to tolerate it for a little while. But this year, it's different. It's worse. 

It's worse because I have a young adult driving now. Driving a pickup truck - because that is the second least practical winter vehicle you can own. The first being a motorcycle. 

He's an aggressive driver, and not particularly experienced. He's already totaled one truck - and that was in perfect driving conditions. 

We also don't see a lot of snow, so a little bit of snow on the road provides a lot of drivers that are inexperienced with driving in it. Now combine an aggressive, inexperienced driver with a bunch of overly cautious drivers. 

I can't wait for spring.
