It's pretty, but I hate other drivers out there.

Today, I took the freeway to work because I figured it would be cleared better than the back-roads I usually take. (I don't usually take the freeway because around here they are normally clogged with traffic and useless.) With today being a holiday for some, and others who panic at the sight of a snowflake, staying home; traffic was light. Just before my exit, in the opposing lane of traffic, I spotted a small SUV heading South. The windshield was completely obscured by an inch-thick layer of snow and ice, with the exception of about a two foot swath that had been cleared just in front of the driver. All I could say was SERIOUSLY! I wish I could have taken a picture to post here. I've seen these lazy, stupid idiots before on side roads, but never on the freeway. God help anyone trying to merge onto the freeway in their 80-degree blind spot!
