I went out unaware of what the weather would be like today, it was terrible, could not see for the blowing snow. Got like three miles from my destination and there was a fatal accident. I kept thinking the whole time, if I had watched the weather I would not have went out today, so I will keep an eye on it from now on, I urge you all to do the same. I know there are people out there that will say, it is february, what did you expect, well I did not expect what I ran into today. Becareful everybody.

I think we can all be guilty of bad planning from time to time. But hey its winter. Guess we will just have to sit it out and pray for spring..

Oh, I swear that was the most miserable 183 miles (one way) of my life today. I left here early wednesday morning and the weather was good, we started hearing the forcast and I was getting really anxious last night. But I made the entire accident free, but not idiot free. When I left late morning to head home there was ice coming down, I thought there is no way I am getting home safe, well I had my doubts the whole way, I had tractor trailers passing me, I was going steady between 55 and 60 mph, which did not seem safe to me at all, but it was either drive or be pushed. I see why when there is an accident it is a major one, they are just ridiculous on the turnpike, just plain nuts. I smoked a half a pack of cigarettes that 76 miles of my trip.
I am home and happy to be here, theres my trip to main office over with for the year. Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats on your safe return good natured. I was thinking of you when I heard of the impending storm. Yes the interstate is insane. I think you are a brave one. I will not drive it good or bad weather. I hope your days of bad weather travel are close to being over.

Welcome back good, glad to see that you made it home safe and sound. Good to hear that you won't be traveling for a long time now. Just think after a trip like that, every day truck to work isn't so bad no matter what the weather.

Nasty weather in Ohio today. Rained like cats and dogs. In fact I almost stepped in a poodle.
Snow...sleet..freezing rain. Thank God (or Allah, if you prefer) that I am only 7 minutes from work.

I had the ride from hell today, I was actually sick in the stomach at the thought of getting on that turnpike with those trucks, they are bad enough on good roads, put a wintery mix in the pot and it was awful, I was so glad to pull in and get stuck in my drive way, LOL. The car is still where I got it stuck, had to come in the house sit down and have my coffee, love up the dogs and cook dinner. I am sooooooooooo glad to be home again.

Glad you made it there safe. I probaly would have left the car sit there too. Theres only so much a person can deal with in one day. Do you have a hubby that can move it. After your ride I wouldn't even want to go back out the next day and deal with a stuck car. Are roads were awful until later in the day. I hate the big trucks myself. They seem to scream "Get out of my way or I'll run you over". Around here i've seen lots of heavy trucks take out little vechicles and it never turns out well. Looks like you got the weekend to recoup good natured. Rest up and enjoy.

Got the car un stuck today, LOL, had to plow the drive way and then it was driveable, I knew this would happen when I bought this car, I have a four wheel drive truck and have always had two four wheel drives here, but this car is so easy on gas, so I bought it. It is front wheel drive and does really well most of the time, our driveway can be a mess when we get a few inches of snow. But everything is cool today.

Welcome back GoodNatured. Glad to hear you made a safe return. I hate driving in a lot of traffic myself. I am afraid of the 18 wheelers.I had to turn into my drive once nearly on 2 wheels because there was one to close and to fast on my rear.
