Snowmaggedon 2014. Snowpocalypse 2014. Snowpalooza 2014.
Whatever you call, it snowed here in T-town yesterday. At least two inches in my yard. I have driven in much larger amounts of snow. Gripping the wheel. On interstate traffic, near the Baltimore beltway. And yesterday I felt the same sort of panic driving through icy, snow-covered roads that had no salt, no dirt to prevent accidents. Watching drivers right in front of me, sliding as they lost control. I didn't see anyone go into a ditch, or anyone get into a wreck. But there were plenty around. I think the sense of panic was not just with me, but with so many others who wanted to get home, who didn't want to get stranded.
What do you do in those moments? Other than get mad at your daughter when she calls and starts talking about the fact that she wants you to turn around because she's having too much fun? Pray.
