snow...

Driving through falling snow is hypnotic, as I was reminded last night on the way home. I also determined that I can get the same effect while out of the car by looking straight up into the falling snow. This does, however, result in a cold and wet face as the snowflakes melt. It's still very pretty, though.

This morning on the way to work, I saw lots of lightly dusted trees, which made for a very pretty drive. Kinda wished I had my camara, except I was driving and couldn't have taken any pictures anyway. Well, except for when the traffic wasn't moving for no apparent reason. This happened often. I still don't know why.

There's actually a specific term - Snow Hypnosis or Driving Hypnosis. It happens, usually at night and the driver trances out. It's generally considered bad.

Glad you made it safely...

*chuckle* Yes. I sorta figured. Last night was worse, since the snow was seriously screwing with visibility. But, it was fine. :)

Me, too! Although, generally if I'm aware of things as being dangerous for distraction reasons, I can use my excessively developed control to stay safe. Awareness is usually enough. Also, I'm good at telling if I'm too tired to drive.
