Every year the first "real" snow of the year is a cluster-fuck, because all of the boneheaded idiot drivers somehow forget how to drive in it over the summer months. The minute they see a snowflake, they freak out and bring traffic to a standstill. I could understand this incompetence farther south where driving in the snow is an uncommon event, but if you live in Berkshire county, then God dammit, learn how to drive in it!!!!!!!!!! My ride to work usually takes 45 minutes, but an hour isn't all that uncommon during bad weather. It's the same routine every time. Black wet roads, and idiots that still insist on doing 35. When the roads actually are slippery (10% of the time), I don't get upset at the slow ride, but today brought an entirely new level of idiot out of their houses and on to the road. My ride took an hour and a half, and for about half of the ride, it was a 5 mph tapdance of stop and go. The goddamned roads weren't even that bad! On harbor hill, which tends to be slippery, it was a parking lot. Nobody was moving, and I saw flashers all over the place. There were a lot of cars pulled over to the side of the road, either stuck or just too scared to drive. I still have the summer tires on the Camry, and I had absolutely no problems stopping and going up the hill. The stop & go continued for 15 more miles all the way into Pittsfield, even though the rest of the ride is flat and mostly straight.
The other bulk of my wait was waiting for timid women to pull out of the goddamned intersections even though nothing's coming for 2 miles!
I think I bent my steering wheel from pounding on it so hard.
God Dammit I hate stupid people.
