Weather Weather could spoil my Christmas - Page 2

I am working in Detroit. I have my last job tomorrow night. Then I head home, probably around 1:00a.m. I looked at the forecast and it is winter storm advisories all the way home. Snow up here, then Ice, then rain/snow mix. Supposed to be a 12 hour drive home, which would get me home around noon on Christmas Eve, which is when we are starting some Christmas activities. With that weather, God knows when i will get home.

It would suck if you didn't make it but drive safe and good luck.

Keep Herm in your mind. If things get ugly, he will be there for you. Just have him fix your car and throw him the **** out.

Roads are getting pretty slippery down here.

It's been snowing all day up here. Two more hours until I can start working, and then about 4 hours to get the job done. If it stops between now and then, the roads will be in pretty good condition. Michigan does a great job of keeping the roads clear. Indiana and Illinois, I don't know how well they do. I am dreading the Missouri part the worst. I know what a crappy job they do of clearing off the snow/ice.

Looks like those prayers have been answered. I got started early, and started home a little after 9:00 central time. It snowed all day. It was still snowing when I left. I drove for 2 1/2 hrs before it changed to rain. Then it all but stopped. Roads are clear, and we are making good time. Looks like I will be home by 10:00 a.m. For those who said a prayer for me, thank you.

Just waking up in Harrisburg, PA and it's freezing rain. The kind that brings down power lines and gets an inch thick so you need a jackhammer to break it up.

Hoping the temperature goes up and turns it back into liquid. I actually enjoy driving in snow just to put my gear to the test. Not so much freezing rain.
