Okay - I have gone and I am back. I saw maybe 10 snowflakes until I got to Shakopee. Then, as soon as I entered the house, they came on fast and thick. Oh well, I had to take it easy going back to Big Lake. It was worth the trip.
My sixteen year old gs asked if he could drive my Lincoln to work. He had to be to work at Target by 4:00. I let him. He did well. He is confident. We talked about the tee-second rule - he already knew it. I told him to take that out from three to four or five in this kind of weather. And I had to caution him to slow down a couple times.
I am not a slow poke. The roads were better on the free-ways. So 55 to 60 mph depending on the flow and amount of traffic. But why do some people go so fast. I came off 494 onto 94 by Maple Grove and I check my side mirror and there is a FAST driver coming up on my left - Stupid - Stupid - Stupid. The guy in front of me did not check his mirror very well and began to move into that left lane. The fast car tried to slow down and did not hit the lane changing car hard but just enough to send him into a spin. So now they are both spinning. I look in my rear view mirror and there is a red jeep behind me spinning. Phew! THAT vehicle was going tooooo fast also. Nothing was horrendous and I am wondering - should I have stopped? I seriously did not want to be on 94 in this weather and I AM NOT Stupid! Ugh - people - drive according to the conditions!
It took double the time to drive from Elk River to Big Lake. I don't consider that bad in these weather conditions.
