Tonight I do not like living here.
Tonight I do not like living here.
It is -7 with the wind chill. The house is groaning under the wind and swirling snow.
Blowing snow creates drifts and visibility is diminished.
We’ve been under a winter weather advisory since 5 pm that will continue through 11 am tomorrow morning.
WYDOT has issued road advisories against unnecessary travel between the Colorado state line and Laramie.
Nothing unusual here, except that the Legal Dude is out there, in the weather, making his way up the interstate from DIA.
He called.
He’s staying behind a semi, both doing 15 to 20 mph on an interstate where the legal speed limit is 75 but most drivers travel 85 mph.
He has an 8 am class tomorrow morning so he’s determined to make the trip home.
He said he can’t see the exit signs.
He saw a car spin off the road.
Some people slowed while others used the opportunity to go even faster, a strange phenomenon—which is more common than not—that I just do not get.
I’m not the only one though, pacing and waiting patiently for a loved one to pull off the unpredictable Wyoming roads.
People here travel all the time and weather can frequently be an issue, even during the two seasons that are July and August.
It doesn’t mean that I have to like it.
