Scary Drive In
Nov. 10th, 2008 08:59 pmToday I left for work at my normal time, 6:15. The roads and highways were fine for a few miles, but once I got a ways north, things changed. We got drizzly and icy and awful. 275 turned into a near parking lot. When I reached the juncture of 96 and 5, it failed to improve. On an overpass at 12 Mile I saw a mess of emergency vehicles and no other traffic. I didn't see any actual accidents on 275, but there must have been multiple somethings somewhere.
The side roads in Oakland County were also quite poor.
I finally arrived at school over half an hour late. It's a good thing I have first hour prep. I later learned many, many teachers were late for school today.
A simple application of salt would have solved the problem, but the road commissioner apparently had his head up his ass. This happened last year--the first icy dawned with no salt trucks on duty because apparently no one figured it was necessary to have any ready by NOVEMBER in MICHIGAN. I'm assuming the dickhead in charge got a new one chewed for him a couple-three times today.
