Open letter to the driver of the car in front of me

If you sweep the four inches of powder off your hood, it won’t blow up in your windshield when you start driving.

By extension, if you sweep the four inches of powder off your roof and trunk, if won’t blow off on my windshield when I’m following you.

This is also important when there is a crust on the snow (as there was the other week) and it’s coming off your roof in big slabs.

I hate when when people do that. It’s even worse when you’re driving on the highway.

Gulp.

Maybe that person was new to the area and has never, ever lived in a place where driving in the snow is something you do on a yearly basis?

On behalf of all snow-driving newbies, mea culpa. I promise to do better on my way home tonight…

Oh I hate that. Always gets my goat. I think every year, every weathercaster should be required to mention it prior to the first big snow, just for all the newbies like Miss. Injury. And all the people who just plain forgot over the summer…
