Will it ever end?

It's been snowing for the last few days. Today I took out my snow-blower and cleaned the driveway, even though it was snowing. I hoped it would stop, but it hasn't. Now there is even a weather advisory out. On top of the blowing snow it is also friggen cold with windshield temperature up to minus 40 C.

I was at a meeting tonight. The speed limit on the Hwy I travel is 80km/hr. I drove 75 because of the slippery sections. Of course, there was one guy in a truck who figured it is still summer. He passed me at such high speed I thought I wasn't moving. He must have been driving at least 100km/hr. I almost expected to find him in the ditch, but I didn't.

When I drove home at around 9:30 pm it snowed a bit heavier and I drove at around 70km/hr. A few cars passed me. Every time they passed they left a cloud of snow in their wake, snow that lay on the passing lane. It drifted in front of me creating near whiteout conditions for me and the drivers behind me. I consider that  careless driving. Beside the poor visibility it was also slippery. They never learn.
When I was on the road yesterday I saw a few cars in the ditches. Drivers who thought they were safe inside their cars and accidents only happened to others, according to their thinking.

Well, I guess I'll have to clean my driveway tomorrow again.

Will it ever end?
