actually i'm from the new england area in the US. Brrr it's cold here right now...
lmao! ahh, so ur from that new england state, huh? XD i was born in western mass, and i live in ny now. and its amazes me how many people in the west thought new england was a state.
yesterday thrusday (it was yesterday 2 hours ago) i started a hunt for a new job, and earlier today i had my first interveiw XD gotta love it.
but *holds up a map* i live on the western side of this foothill/small mountin called "bignose". the town were the interview was is on the east side. my grand parents live on the northside which is surrounded by more hills and open plains/farmland. the south is the river. so to go there, we took the highway next to the river below bignose, with no problem. on the way back, however, we had to stop at my grandparents x.x i really wish we didnt. i was driving (which i rarly do in winter) and once we got out of town the roads were horrible. the open farmland gave nothing to stop the wind except snow banks, so acroos the road was just all this snow blowing off of the top of the banks. it was whiteout conditions x.x i could barly control the car, as well. at one point i almost ran into a bunch of amish kids when the road was about one car width wide. then when we left (several hours later, as my grandfather can keep going on his stories forever) the roads on the state route back into town were just as bad, and we got stuck behind two plows going between 2 and 3 mph (~3-5 kph) x.x now this is a road no one ever uses, but it took us almost a half hour to go a half mile. fortinatly we were more familar with the back roads, and turn off into one of the roads with tree cover, and thus no snow blowing across the road. my mom tried counting how many cars behind us were still following the plows. she was at 11 and still going when we couldnt see the corner anymore. @.@ the moral of the story: i hate winter.
