driver archetypes
i and the rest of fairbanks woke to two inches of snow the perfect consistency for snowballs. the morning on which i had planned to wear heels. which, coincidentally, makes the roads a little slick (the snow, not the heels).
you would think that a population that lives 8 or 9 months of every year in the snow and below zero temperatures would remember how to drive in the snow. and then you would be wrong.
there are generally two different kinds of people on the road in this kind of weather: [1] those who forgot about the snow and decide to drive 5 miles an hour in both lanes the whole way through town, and [2] those who forgot about the snow and dont change their driving speed or style in any way from that of summer.
interestingly enough, both of these driver archetypes always end up in the ditch and smashed into each other at intersections.
thankfully i will not be one of them.

Dude, I'm so not ready for winter and it's feeling like it's about to hit down here as well.
