The first new snow and driving

The first new snow hit Wednesday night. It also coincided with Thanksgiving traffic. Of course, nothing was sticking to the ground, as you drove over the snow/road, the water was pushed aside. This means it was no worse than driving in rain in the spring or fall. There was no reason for people to be going 35 mph on the interstate. If you're too fucking chicken shit to travel the speed limit when it is allowable because the roads were not iced over, visibility was no worse than a typical rain storm,

STAY THE FUCK HOME PEOPLE AND GET OFF THE ROAD.

Ugh, it took me 35 minutes to leave Johnson county Iowa, which normally would be 12-15 minutes depending on traffic.
