Rhymes with Listeria

Today Madison got about six inches of snow. For a Wisconsin native, that’s really no big deal, but one should use caution when driving in the stuff, like da. We’ve had an extremely mild winter with little snow before today, so most folks had to re-acquaint themselves driving in it.

Well, either I’m a moron or martyr, but I schlepped a 25 mile drive into work today and back. Watching the weather forecast on the news last night, I knew we were going to get some wicked snow. But, having done the commute for the last six years, I know that the plow crews are awesome keeping the main roads clear. And today, as usual, they did. I drove to work and home in a few minutes more than my usual drive time.

But how weird, when I answered my phone at work today, people were surprised to find me there. Whatever!! I did dodge out at 3:30, and found my car with a one foot snow drift on it. I scooped the snow off with my arm and scraped the ice off the glass. Oh an early day home from work… yeah. What did I do????? Well, I made Sunday gravy with perciatelli.

But this being the biggest snow fall we’ve had in a few years, those with short memories panicked. OH…MY..GOD..THEY..CLOSED..THE…MALLS!!!!!
