I Should Have Left at 5

I checked outside this morning at 3. It seemed we had a little bit of snow. So when my alarm rang, I got up and on the road in a hurry. Delightfully, 5 miles down the freeway, I ran into a roadblock. It seems the road was closed due to "winter weather conditions" to which I call bullshit because the east bound lane appeared to be open. So I kicked in the 4 wheel drive, pulled into the ditch and drove to the next exit to turn around and go back to my exit for the 40 mile "detour" around the closure.

This is the part where you drive really, really fast on icy roads and pray you don't end up in the ditch. Then I hit the fog. Does it never end?

I hate weather.
