January In Ohio

January in Ohio is like July in Virgina , its yucky yucky yucky.
In winter you can't go out side for more than a few minuets at a time and in summer in Virgina you can't go out for more than a few minutes at a time. Oh how I miss California in the winter. Its gets chilly in the high dessert and chilly at the beach, but you don't have to wear a parka to go to the store. As you can tell I really don't like it here. The winter you have cold, real cold and freeze your butt off. IN the summer you have warm , Hot and then Melt your butt off. I am counting down the days until spring, which you never know if it gonna come in April Or May. It so sucks when I (an April Baby) have to worry about it snowing on my birthday. Many of Easters we played in the snow. But back to my rambling. Since I was raised in Southern Cali I am not use to driving in wet slushy icy weather. It not so much me but it is the other Crazy stupid drivers I have to worry about. You know when the roads are wet you should slow down, well here in winter hell most people don't. I drive at least 15-20 miles under the speed limit. I had to make a trip to Wooster the other day in wet, slushy Icy crap. I was barley out of my town when I see three cars in the ditch. As you looked further you saw the skid marks though the snow and ice of where they lost control. If people would just slow down even a little there would be less accidents. Everyone here teases me about not driving in bad weather, but they have no clue of how really scared I am. I tend to be a homebody for a few months this time of year. At least I am a breathing home body. I miss going outside until I let the dogs out and then realize outside is overrated.
