cracking the ice

Getting to work (1 hour commute) was a challenge today due to a snow/ice storm. As I attempted to approach my car this morning a sheet of crunchy ice & compact snow greeted me in the parking lot. It was actually kind of fun to to crunch to my car (bad shoe choice though) but it made me reconsider going to work. I was afraid the roads might be too hazardous. I decided to try, since I am stubborn about using my vacation days due to weather. It took me 20 minutes to make my car drivable and included using my ice scraper/brush thingy like a hammer to break the ice sheet covering my car. Again, kinda fun for a few minutes but at a chilly 20 degrees it got old really fast.
My biggest complaints about the roads today were the stupid or thoughtless people who did not completely de-ice their cars. I think it is dangerous to have big sheets of flying ice & snow flung along the highway at 55 mph (Just my opionion). Other than that the roads were well salted.
Of course all my appointments are cancelling so I don't really have anything to do at work since i am fairly well caught up on paperwork. So I communted an hour in ice to sit for 8 hours.
Why did I move from Florida????
