For all those that should know better but sometimes don't......

You know, not going out in bad weather is just a matter of common sense, if you don't have to -- don't go. I have to go to work today, but my husband is driving me, he has 4 wheel drive, I only have front wheel. My job has no tolerance for people not coming in and the previous shift can't leave until the next one comes in, which does make sense, I work in a group home. But then they buy these homes that are in the middle of nowhere, I actually get to go down a one lane dirt road for about 2 miles to get there. I have to wonder what they are thinking other then cost.

That is one thing I don't miss about PA. But living there for 36 years, I knew better than to go out in bad whether, I never thought something was worth risking my life for or even others. I remember times when a snow storm would hit after I was already at work. I worked in a mall and I couldn't believe how many people would come there to go shopping in bad whether. The ones that really got to me would be the ones who dragged their babies and small children out in the whether just because they wanted to go shopping. The epitomy of stupidy. I used to call all my employees and tell them not to come in if the roads were bad, I didn't think it was worth their lives for a minimum wage job.

As a fellow Pennsylvanian I'd like to second your advice! It never fails, whenever we have even a minor snow or ice even here there are multiple crashes, most of which could easily have been avoided if everyone would have followed your advice and if they HAD to go venture out on the roads if they'd all just drive sensibly. Obviously there are always innocent victims who did nothing wrong themselves but got hit by someone else but there's always someone who has no respect for the elements and thinks they can drive just as fast on snow or ice-covered roads as they can when it's high and dry. Give me a break - the life or vehicle you save may be your own! Annie

This is true, there are a lot of trips that are not necessary,that people don't need to be out in that type of weather! I've been up there where it gets bad, and I always parked when it did, and didn't take any chances!

Well it's 2:07 am here in philadelpia pa. We didn't get much snow here not even an inch. Alot of sleet and freezing rain though. It's still a sheet of ice and I am sitting here wondering if there will be school this morning for my son. Bridges closed because of the fast freezing ice and penn dot seemed to not be able to keep up with it here in phila. There were many accidents. One that even involved 12 accidents. If anyone has to drive this morning please be safe and take extra caution..

The place I work at never closes because of snow. However I guess if they advise people not to and only for emergencies then they will have to close. I love snow. But I hate having to drive in it. So if I don't have to go driving in it I won't.
