I went out unaware of what the weather would be like today, it was terrible, could not see for the blowing snow. Got like three miles from my destination and there was a fatal accident. I kept thinking the whole time, if I had watched the weather I would not have went out today, so I will keep an eye on it from now on, I urge you all to do the same. I know there are people out there that will say, it is february, what did you expect, well I did not expect what I ran into today. Becareful everybody.

Hey, fireyone good to see you here, haven't seen you in a while on here. The weather has been terrible the last few days for driving, I am glad to have a four day weekend coming up, we have presidents day off and then I have tommorro off. Then next week I have to do some extensive traveling for work, I am not looking forward to it at all, hopefully we will have some descent weather or I may be inclined not to go, it is like a 4 hour trip for me to get to where I need to be. They could have done it in April instead of february. We shall see, I will hope for good weather.

I watch the news in the winter time, I try to keep an eye on the weather for travel reasons. Having a trip ahead of me like that would drive me crazy, goodnatured, would not want to be you, I would be worried until the trip was over. anxiety would be kicking in, right about now :roll: :roll:

Hey good natured. just got the bugs worked out of my computer. Seems I had alot of adware from different sites. Got it all cleared for now. The roads around here (I live in cow country) leave a lot to be wished for, like summertime. I don't travel on them if there is even a trace of snow, an anxiety thing, ya know. I usually just get my chauffer (sp?) to take me. Yes I am talking about my husband. Good luck on your trip and enjoy your 4 day vaca. talk to ya soon.

Fortunately, I am only seven minutes from work. And new tires make quite a difference if you are driving in horrible conditions.
Speaking of horrible conditions, one wonders what it would be like working for Western Southern.
OK...I'll play nice. Old established company for old established agents that want to go out of the business quietly...without any fanfare.

Gosh, Ohio, that avatar makes me dizzy every time I see it, LOL. WOW!
Fireyone,
It is not a vacation, it is work related, I will be stressed out the whole way down there, thank god most of it is the turn pike and they keep it pretty clean, but there are a ton of big trucks and I hate the tunnels. I won't get rid of the anxiety of this trip until I get home. I am really trying not to think about it, thinking about car pooling also, that may be an option that I need to talk to some one about on Tuesday when I am back to work.
It will all work out, if it gets too bad, I will just not go. I don't think there is bad weather coming, the forecast is a little too far out yet to see, but I am definately watching the weather.

Yeah, it is a busy avatar that is for sure, LOl, but it is kind of neat.
hey good, don't think about your trip till it gets closer, relax and enjoy your weekend, don't stress yourself out about it, the weather may be fine. Take a look at the weather when the trip gets closer.

I can tell before hand how the roads are by looking out the window.If there is snow on them I don't go anywhere.Looking outside and listening to the tv or radio is a good way to know what condition the roads are in. The only bad thing is getting caught away from home in bad weather.

I live on back roads so I can not see the main ones before leaving home. It always looks bad from my window in the winter. Well good natured I hope your trip works out for ya. I meant the 4 days you have off would be a short vaca not the trip. I know when your working 5 days a week 2 days off isn't enough especially when you have kids and a house to take care of. Hope you think about the car pooling. Sometimes its a pain but it saves a little gas money and gives a little company on a long trip. Have a safe trip[.

I hate winter time period, bad roads, higher heating and other utility bills, all the cold spells. I just keep thinking that spring is right around the corner to keep my spirits up.

I hear ya there girl. Not much of a cold weather person myself. Money is always tighter this time of year. Never had the passion for all this white stuff myself or the longer nights. About this time of year I start getting the winter blahs.
