I never did like driving in the winter. I was almost always running late‚ time just tended to escape me. In the winter‚ everything required a sluggish attentiveness that I didn’t have the tolerance for. Driving had always been a tranquil and lulling thing for me‚ up until I hit solid black ice.

He worked all week doing labor and “No one ever thanked him” is a hint that people around him were very unappreciative

Well it’s not‚ and unfortunately snow is something of a blessing and more often than not‚ typically short lived when it does appear. Winter break of 2015 was no exception‚ I hadn’t done anything all break and my parents wanted to go out and do something before everybody was forced to go back to work and school.
