Obviously winter is still here since it is only February but we have had so much snow over the last week that it seems as though winter is here forever. We are expecting even more snow tomorrow and no one really seems to be willing to give any kind of hard estimate as to the amount of snowfall expected. Where I live we have had 53 inches of snow in the last week. Today's snow fall will range anywhere from a dusting to 10 inches or more depending on the source you look at.
I understand that in many areas of the world 53 inches is not uncommon but for this area to have that much in such a short period of time is actually pretty rare so no one was really prepared. And of course when it snows you get every idiot around that considers themselves immortal out driving around in their cars.
Tonight is a good example. I was on my way home and I had some one behind me that was giving plenty of lead time most of the way but every time I got to an area where drifting snow had made the road pretty dangerous they immediately came right up and rode my ass the whole way through the area. At one point this person was so damned close to me that I was not able to see his headlights in the mirror. Where are the police when that kind of thing is happening??
