This white crap can go!!!

So today's post is not about COPD.

These past few days have been a winter HELL! I normally hate winter, however hockey usually keeps it worth going through the cold. But this winter? Ohh. Not even hockey can help me stand it! And honestly, those that know me know that this is huge.

ALL.THE.SNOW.CAN.GO.!

I honestly can not stress enough how much I hate this winter. The roads are absolutely ridiculous. Nobody knows how to drive without going 5 miles an hour and taking up both lanes so that those that actually KNOW how to drive can move around them.
I had done about 7 hours of driving in total today. I did two shifts at Jimmy Johns, then the driving to and from home and between the other jobs.

I have actually seen my very first live accident! Like, I have never actually seen one happen.
Until today. And I would have completely missed it if I wasn't such an observant (most times) driver, looking everywhere when driving.
I turned my head to the left and seen this red truck pull out just about right in front of a black car. The black car seriously had no time to stop. The truck should have waited. But of course, they didn't. Coming back from a delivery, I went the same way, and looked inside the red truck as I passed and there were two guys in there laughing. All while the teenager from the car was freaking out and according to my co-worker, crying. Well, to be quite honest, I would have to. I mean, his whole engine area was just a jumbled mess.

Just too many accidents today. We even had to stop delivering about 3 hours before close.
Sheets of ice covered with snow.
I even ended up landing in a snowbank on a run. Thankfully, the residents in the complex were nice enough to stop and try to help me out in this single digit cold! I was so stuck that it even took a little while to get me out with tow straps.


Cold. Snow. Roads. Screw this.
This winter is the worst. And the longest. I think we even had snow in October or November. Ugh I can't even remember!!
