Rules for Driving in the Snow

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009


  1. If you are a timid girly girl (that includes you males — you know who you are) stay home — don’t drive in the snow. Stay off the highways — you go to slow and you’ll get us folks stuck along with you.
  2. Relax. I don’t know how many people (see item 1) I saw with their shoulders all hunched up like they were going to rip the steering wheel from the column.
  3. Get off your damn cellphone. If you want to talk on the phone, pull into a ditch, because you’ll end up stuck on the side anyway. Easier solution: get off the damn phone.
  4. If you have a sports car or a rear wheel drive car without traction control and/or bald tires — stay home — or go drive in some parking lots.
  5. When you’re driving up a hill, for pete’s sakes, don’t slow down! The rest of us poor saps will get stuck behind you.
  6. If you’re going to turn, don’t brake through the turn– you lose control — lay off the brake so the wheels rotate through the turn.

How do you spend your Snow Day?

When the weather is crappy and the schools are closed — don’t try to work from home. The kids are home expecting to play and have the run of the house.

Everyone should take the day off and do something they want to do: play with your kids, play in the snow, read a book, watch tv, do something you like doing. Please don’t call me to tell me how much work you’re getting done on a Snow Day — I don’t want to hear it.
