This road is as icy as a beachside boardwalk in Florida on a hot summer’s day.
And yet a man down the road was too terrified to drive his car past a man’s “unkempt” house. In his winter-driven rage, he stormed the guy’s house at 6 AM on a Saturday and demanded he get up and out of his PJs to plow what looked like a perfectly winterized road. Although the homeowner’s eyes were still half-dreaming, he was stunned by the outburst, turning to his local village group chat to make sure he hadn’t missed something.
The road didn’t need to be plowed. There was no snow. Winter appeared to be over. But the man next door was so adamant about the civil disruption that he threatened to sue the neighbor over it.
I understand that when you don’t have the right equipment to drive on icy roads, it can be a little daunting and definitely scary, but this guy was completely delulu. I’ve never driven in the snow, nor would I ever take a risk on icy roads, but I can safely say that this road is entirely passable. You could drive a souped-up, low-suspension Subaru WRX with drift tires down this road. You could steer an Amish 4-horse carriage down this road. You could sprint full speed down this road with no fear of even the slightest slip.
Everyone is at the end of their limit with winter this year, and everyone is dreaming of springtime bliss, but as the seasons hold out on us and continue to blizzard, it’s important to keep your head on straight. Especially in a rural area where neighbors rely on neighbors for a quick tow, a borrowed snow shovel, or even a last-minute plow, burning bridges with the folks who could help out in a bind is never the answer.
Luckily for this guy, it seems that his neighbors are in good spirits. Despite being thwarted and threatened by the empty lawsuits over snow-free roads, the whole neighborhood was able to laugh it off, counting down the days until the moment the sunshine would warm their world once more… In more ways than one.
