Oh dear. Ice storm warning for us tonight
I really really REALLY hate ice! I can deal with snow..but not ice.
On my short drive home from work (4 miles) I saw three spin outs and I felt my car slide on me as I drove under a bridge.
I dread tomorrow. People here do NOT know how to drive in this stuff. I saw an SUV race by me at about 50mph this afternoon and than later, I believe the same SUV was spun out in the median strip. Dumbass! 4 wheel drive does NOT give an advantage on ice!!:banghead:
Anyway, to any DU'ers in the Baltimore-Washington area that needs to go out tonight, BE CAREFUL. Damn that this has to happen on our primary night...x(

1. We're getting it tonight.
My dentist called at 6:30 to cancel my appt. I guess they're not even opening tomorrow.

I'll be glad not to be driving south on 95 tomorrow!

2. Wisconsin Ave was a parking lot
Took me 40 minutes to go from EastWest Hwy to Jones Bridge road. Heard there was a massive accident over in PG county with about a dozen cars.
