who was coming back from an appointment in Alden this evening. We’re talking about dinner plans and such, when all I hear is “shit, I just got blown off the road, lemme call you back”. The intervening 3-4 minutes SUCKED! However, she dropped into 4Lo, and was able to creep out, but apparently it’s pretty nasty in parts.

And now…off to Grovers for a big-ass burger.

Cold as shit and windy. When pulling out of the plaza in Arcade, I was sitting spinning all 4 in the Subaru while pulling out.

I’ve got all-seasons with decent tread too to put this in perspective.

W. Klien in Amherst was a sheet of ice when I came home. I immediately called the wife to warn her that it took me 300+ feet to slow down from 25 to make the turn on Ranch Trail. When she got home she said she ended up taking the street before Ranch Trail because she could see an accident at Ranch Trail and W. Klien.

Haha, the outback would be fun, but I’m not up for it. Maybe in the morning I’ll stop to get the feel for the car in the snow. i figuer EA will be closed if the weather continues the way it’s been thus far.

took me over two hours to drive 5.6 miles from RIT’s campus to just south of highland park. There was an accident blocking jefferson / east river (again… there was one earlier in the day) so all the scottsville and east river-bound traffic was funneled to 15 \>\_\<

trip computer avg speed: 2mph (must have been close to 3 but I guess it never rounds up  
mpg: 1.8 (I know any car is awful at those speeds but this darn v6 is awful all, want my 36mpg car back)

the roads weren’t that bad either. The rental just has all-seasons and it was fine. The roads had some slush but were pretty well cleared.

This was 5:30pm to little after 7:30pm btw.

now I know if it’s snowing to just… stay on campus and study until I can’t study any more. I really wish more people here would invest in snow tires.

I would cheat and text her a picture of a puppy while doing it 😛

a casual observation I’ve made is that when men talk on the cell phone while driving they are driving first and talking second – women appear to switch priorities.

it’s probably not true of all, but it’s true for enough.
