I took the kids to their Dad’s house this morning so that they could catch their rides to school. I was a little surprised by the state of some of the roads. The snow ended yesterday morning, but it still was a little sloppy here and there. Route 93 North seemed to be much icier than I had expected.
I’m working from home today, so I didn’t have to deal with my long commute. My wife, however, has to go to a training in Boston today. She left the house at 6:30am. She called me at 8:00 and she’d only made it about half way, if that. As of 8:15 she still wasn’t even remotely close.
Why?
Is this a case of the state dropping the ball on cleaning up the highways, or is it just an example of a phenomenon that occurs each year where most drivers react to the first snowfall of the year by completely forgetting how to drive in the snow. I would guess that it’s a combination, but frankly the snow fell yesterday and both things should have been cleared up by today.
Hang in there, my love. Be safe. I love you!
