No snow tomorrow, please. It took me two and a half hours to get home the last time it snowed here. I got stuck on a hill. I had forgotten my cell phone at home, so I couldn't call anyone for help. Finally, a woman stopped and offered me a ride. I handed her my purse (!!!) to put in her car while I got Elsa out of my car. Then a mean, loud man said, "Get back in your car. We've got to get you off this road." And the stranger gave me back my purse and a couple of men managed to get my car to a parking lot. I sat in that parking lot trying to figure out the best way to get home.

The Midwest seems like a flat place until you're trying to plan a route home with no snowy hills to get stuck on.

We did get home eventually and Elsa was a perfect girl for the whole ride, but I'm just not sure that I can handle driving in the snow that is forecast for tomorrow. Please, weather forecaster, could you make the snow go somewhere else tomorrow? My car and my nerves can't handle even a couple of inches.
