Lol.
Trunk or treat sounds less like a community event and more like a mafia thing...."Eh, you know Vinny was awefully rude to my favorite waitress when asking for dessert on Halloween so I told him the restaurant may be out but I got some cake in my trunk, but ya gotta dig for it...when he was rummaging around I shoved him in and closed the lid. Trunk or Treat ya jamoke!"
It's still coming down...I don't think they stocked up on salt yet. None of the roads were salted and during the morning commute and lunch they hadn't plowed since the wee hours of the morning so the roads were complete skating rinks...worst traction I can recall driving on in the last year and a half...in the morning I tried passing someone and after I got past and tried to get back on my side of the road I went into probably a half block long cycle of fish tailing (was afraid I was going to go sideways a couple times), at lunch going at least 10 under the speed limit I tried to stop for a light (3 way with my path being straight)...on dry pavement I could've stopped at least 3 times over, but with zero traction all I could do was jam brake and horn down to warm the one car not to pull out...I essentially came to a stop on the opposite side of the light then let off the brake since I was already there... I nearly hit a car turning into the Wendy's at 10mph...the front wheels became skis 1/4 of the way into the turn and I had to mash the brakes and hard oversteer to miss....the burban normally does much better so I was starting to think something was wrong with it but all the ditched cars and other people skidding and fish tailing indicates that the roads are just that slick....I got to watch a big flat bed truck with a trailer not even TRY to stop for a light I managed to stop for.
The municipalities out here have really started to suck at road maintenance in the last year...and they upped the registration tax too.
They atleast plowed it in the last 2 hours so my impending crawl home has hope of being less harrowing...
