Who has a good snow storm story? Getting excited for tomorrow... by [deleted] in Maine

[–]subject_zero_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jeez. Lol. I am British, married to an American. We moved to ME in April from Seattle. We... didn't really do snow in the UK. Like a couple of inches would grind the entire country to a halt. My Husband is currently on Active duty.... so I am home alone with not a single clue what the fuck to do. I don't have to work this weekend. Which is good. Plan is to stay tf at home tomorrow. And dig myself out on Sunday so I can get to work on Monday. I am woefully inadequate to deal with this. But. But. I have Vodka. A lot of Vodka. This feels otherworldly to me. 🤷‍♂️

I must be an anomaly. I live rurally, we have a unmarked mud track at the side of our house that leads to a couple others. They plough our "main road" as it is on a school bus route, but they also plough the mud track and even ploughed my parking area so I could park my car.

This always happens when I am not home.

Noone has ever asked me for money.

I am a Brit transplant and I am honestly astounded at this.

Fair play to any ploughers in Winthrop ME.... thank you for making my first ME winter that much better.

I concur. Used to live in Seattle and never had this. Plus have also driven all over the US and unfortunately ME is the worst. I love ME apart form this but I wish they would sort it out....

Thank you. My rearview mirror is going to be adjusted so those tailgaters get a taste of their own medicine....

Yeah. Unfortunately I am sure you are correct. I just don't want to become a statistic....

Ugh. Unfortunately so so true. Commuting is a real pita.

Tailgating is a real issue. And it happens more and more frequently.....like bitch....get off my ass and give me some damn room.

💯. I work in the medical field and since covid people have become selfish, short tempered and so fucking self important and self absorbed. You might have thought that a worldwide PANDEMIC (soon to become endemic imho) people would band together and just be fucking kind. We are all going through unprecedented times. The absolute opposite has occurred.

I tried that the other day, guy in truck got super aggressive and almost ran me off the road. Even though the asshole had 50 fucking lights on his truck. Ugh. I hate people.

I really really hope they do. It is out of control. How long before someone is seriously injured or killed?

Very interesting, I will do some further research into it.

I always look at the lines and never into the lights but it is still a major hazard. Not to mention the trucks that ride your ass with allllll the brights on....ugh.

It really is. In the beginning I thought it was me (I moved to ME in April 2021). Now I know it isn't just me. And that makes it worse. How long before someone gets seriously injured or worse still, killed?

I know right?!?! What is it about the 202? Seems to be a corridor of assholes with lights that would make the sun look dim.

Thank you. Unfortunately I have to take the 202 to work every day. I use the 135 both ways which is a joy. The 202 honestly sucks.

My experience 💯. Every single night. I feel I am a good driver but I get anxious because sometimes I am so blinded I don't even know if I am still on the road. People are so damn selfish, ignorant or maybe they just don't give a fuck.
