I also have the pleasure of driving the car pictured here, except mine is purple and therefore better. One can only imagine the adventure I had.
I could not stop for a second without nearly getting stuck. At every stop sign, red light and delivery, I had to shove my car back and forth before I would move again. It was a headache, literally and figuratively.
After my intital frustration, it became kind of fun to drive on the deserted roads. Rarely would there be another car in sight, so it didn't matter where I was on the road. I felt free to stop directly in the road, mostly because I did not want to get stuck in a stranger's driveway.
Still, the highlight of my night was when the snow began to taper off and the work of the plows started to truly show. This was also when people stopped wanting our products delivered to their homes, which meant that I could go home. It was wonderful.
It makes me sad to know that this is the first of many snow storms in the next 6 months. This IS Wisconsin, so that is not an exaggeration. I'm sure there have been many years where there has been snow on the ground on 1 May. I should be used to it by now. I have lived in Wisconsin all of my life, but still I cry a little on the first snow storm of every year.
There is no denying that it is officially winter. There is snow on the ground and it is December. I can't lie to myself anymore. The next few months will be rough. I hope this ends sooner than later.
Here's what the local newspaper had to report on this event:http://http://postcrescent.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071201/APC0101/712010455
