Oh my hell. We have been having awful weather here in Utah and it sure doesnt help the depression. It makes me tired and I dont want to get up. Thank God I have a job and have to keep up responsibilities.. Also very thankful that I have four wheel drive..lol.... There wasnt alot of snow dropped yesterday but it was so windy that you couldnt see to far in front of you and it was so cold that the roads were pure ice. Im a freight broker and my trucks couldnt make it in to pick up the freight in SLC it was so bad.. Had many road closures and by last night the news said that we had 282 reported accidents from SLC to Happy Valley ( Utah County). Also here in Happy Valley, there was a 62 car pileup, many being 18 wheelers. I was so supprised that no one was seriously hurt. Their were huge rigs sitting on top of small cars. They interviewed one young guy and showed his car. It was demolished. He and his fiance and two young children were in the car and not seriously hurt, thank God.. They showed him walking across the street with a big sub-woofer, the only thing besides his family that was salvageble from the accident.. Glad I missed that white knucle ride although it wasnt pretty driving home either.. But the roads had been cleaned off and wasnt to bad.. They said the 62 car pileup started in the North bound lanes and people in the south bound lanes were, as we say, rubber necking and caused huge accidents in those lanes.. Ya gotta love it, here in Utah and where ever else you get these road conditions and rubber necking. ( you would never catch me doing that, lol ).. Oh well, thats my story and Im sticking with it... lol... Y'VonneOh yea the big news... STILL SOBER.. Almost forgot.. lmfao...

So glad your drive home wasn\'t too bad. And congrats on staying sober, you\'re doing so much better than me. You\'ve got wonderful willpower! You\'re awesome!
Sounds like a fun winter! Good job on 27 days sober. Thats awesome! Keep it up
I hate driving in that crap, although I have to sometimes. We are supposed to get some snow here tonight in Ohio.
that big news was important stuff! very glad you didn\'t have to drive in the worst of it...amazing people didn\'t get seriously hurt.
So glad u were not in any accidents .. with all that bad weather .. congrats .. on being still sober .. one day at a time .. and u can do just fine ..
Yvonne, What a nightmare, that pile up. Thanks God that family walked away even though there car was totalled. Rubbernecking is so bad because you take your eyes off the road for one second and that is all it takes! Awesome woman on staying sober! I wish you lived closer because I would introduce you to my friends and we do a meeting and then stop and have coffee and chat. Don\'t drink no matter what! Hugs, Kelly :)
hi yvonne, winter weather is tough. everyone here suddenly forgets how to drive when its bad out. i\'m glad that you are safe!
IF I had to live in those conditions I dont think I would be able to stay sober/I need the warm sunny weather or Id go bananas! Congrats to you! Keep up the good work cause YOU deserve it!
Hugs to my favorite \"snowbunny\"!!!lol!!!
