Bridge Freezes Before Road Surface

It was a harrowing return trip from Orlando, but I'm back at Blog Central!  The worst of the winter storm that stretched from Jacksonville to Virginia was at South of the Border, where we encountered 4 inches of a wintry mix that had the locals freaked out.  We witnessed 10 accidents, some serious, because drivers were unaware the bridges were worse than the rest of the road surface.  We actually could predict which motorists would be spun out at the next bridge!  There was no chance to select additional salt and pepper shakers, back-scratchers or even a bumper sticker or two.  It took 2 hours longer than usual, leaving this over-the-hill hobby-jogger exhausted.  I managed an early morning one mile run to keep "The Streak" alive.  Now I need a nap!

    They really don't have a clue of how to drive in snow! In 1983, I was offered $100 to drive people home in Atlanta after 5 inches of snow. It was before I even had a license. I was happy to learn Atlanta now has 8 snow plows, up from the 2 they had in '83.
