Feb. 20th, 2008 07:26 amI have decided that I really, really hate snow. It was coming down like a snowglobe this morning when I left for work. I thought about taking the route that goes through the town to work, but I decided to take the highway since they're usually less slick. So of course, about a quarter of a mile from getting on the highway the truck in front of me must have hit a patch of ice.
He swerved sharply to each side, and I just had time to think, "Oh shit! he must have hit ice!" when I hit the ice and spun out. I went in circles and ended up in the ditch. The guy who spun out ahead of me, the lady in front of him and I all got out of our cars and assured each other that we and our cars were all all right, and that that was as freaky as hell.
I thought that I could get my car unstuck, but I was wrong. But just when I was thinking 'well, now what do I do?' a policeman showed up and helped me get the car out and back on the road.
So I'm totally ok, and my car is totally ok, and everyone else and their cars are totally ok. But what a way to start the morning!
