Rather amusing that 2 out of 12 people showed up to work on time today. They happened to be me (the floridian) and another female who just moved here from California. It is pretty comical that the other 10 people have lived in Colorado for at least 3 years. We both found it amusing that the two people that have little to no experience to drive in snow, did so and were able to get to work on time. Maybe it was because we realized that it was going to take a little longer so we left a little earlier. Maybe it was because we didn't realize we were suppose to drive slower. Most likely it was because we are so new we didn't realize that you can use snow as an excuse to either come to work late or perhaps to not come all.

After all the Colorado natives strolled in they decided to give the transplants tips for driving in the snow. They are as follows:

1) If you lose control put your car in neutral and it will straighten out itself.
2) Pump your brakes, that is if you don't have anti-lock brakes. You stand on your brakes if you do have anti-lock brakes.
3) Drive slower than the car in front of you.
4) After you park your car, put your windshield blades up in the air so they don't freeze to your car.
5) Only drive on the roads that have been plowed.

Mylast piece of advice and by far my favorite was:
Get a four wheel drive car and a driver.

Being a transplant and not use to driving in snow. I didn't realize that once you are home you are suppose to stay home and ONLY go out on the roads if you absolutely need to get somewhere. Me and swallow decided that there were things that we needed to get done, so out we went...shopping of course. Of course we went shopping to the places that we really needed...bascially it was like do or die type of shopping. Lukas Liquor which we found out actually delivers, DSW for some shoes, ROSS for some random odds and ends and then to REI. We made it home safely and are in for the rest of the evening. Denver is expected to have at least 2 feet of snow before mid-night...
