Oh this weather, we were spoiled with the calm start of winter, because now we are getting it. There hasn't been much snow, it is the wind, ice and some snow. I am so glad that I am no longer a Deputy. Having to stand outside in sub zero temps with the wind slamming into you at 50mph, while working a wreck. Trying to get people to slow down and find people who take to the country roads after the highways are closed and their GPS takes them down some minimally maintained road to get stuck.
Now I sit at the console, sending out the cavalry of EMS, Fire and Law. I sit up in my little office, shoes off, and sipping tea, all while making sure all are safe and accounted for. The only issue I have is driving back and forth to work, as of late it seems I drive there in good weather and by mornings break there is an ice blanket on on everything, so i creep on home. But the upside is if its too bad of weather, A deputy driving a Hummer can pick me up. I hated driving that thing, but it will get you there.
