Impending

The highway signs flashed “High Alert! Tomorrow, don’t be driving.” The day before Thanksgiving, There’s a winter storm arriving.

Just made a trek, took twice the time. Bumper to bumper in slushy slime. Thirty minute crash clean up. Then watch them fools start to speed up. Fifteen minutes down the road.

wow! don't know if that's true, but i'm glad you weren't involved in it. thanksgiving traffic is usually the worst - this year it seemed worse the day before because of all the hype about the impending storm. hope your holiday was nice...

Ahhhhhhh...another masterpiece by the queen of poetic wonder. You've still "got it" Ilene. Although I live in sunny Florida, I can appreciate your thoughts about the snow and this Thanksgiving. Stay safe & warm and enjoy the turkey & family:) Terry
