I am sitting at work looking out my window and it is hard to see in front of me. The snow is coming down heavy and the winds are really starting to pick up. The police are warning motorist to slow down and drive carefully because there has been many accidents all over the city. The worse is still to come.
I am not looking forward to the drive home after work. With all the traffic it is going to be a mess out there and lots more accidents before the storm is over sometime this evening.

Is there any chance that your manager would close early to avoid problems? That often happens here with really bad weather.

Oh goodness, I hope you don't have to drive too far in that mess! Please be safe out there when you leave work and take your sweet time getting home! We already had two people lose their life here this morning in a traffic accident, and it wasn't even weather related.

@Happy2BeMe I never like hearing about people dying in accidents of any sort, but it especially bothers me when people lose their lives right before the holidays.

There were lots of accident here yesterday but thankfully I never heard of any fatal accidents. That happens a lot this time of year around here.

Yes some people just don't slow down and they cause accidents for others who are being careful

After reading through the posts and finding that your employer doesn't close early, then I would ask to leave early. I usually have 1 to 2 days a year that I ask to leave early do to weather. Take it slow going home.

I miss the snow but I don't miss that!! I remember one time back east the boss let everyone go home early. It took me 3 hours to get home where it usually too 20 minutes. The roads were so icy. The freeway was closed so I took back roads and they were even worse. I miss having 4 seasons but I surely don't miss driving on icy roads! I hope you make it home safely with minimal trouble!

Thank you. I have snow tires so that shouldn't be a problem. I live on top a hill which may be a problem. If I meet cars coming down the hill when I am trying to go up that can be a bit tricky.

Yes that is what I will have to do. I just worry about the others who don't and cause the accidents.

Any chance your place of business will close early so you can get home safely?
