Where we live we never get much snow as we are surrounded by mountains that seem to fend off the bad weather so its possible that the rest of the country could get it except us and when we do get it then we know everywhere else gets it bad.
We got it pretty bad today. Snow, Ice, freezing conditions, black ice. I slid around in the car trying to pick up and drop off fares and tried to avoid going out of town but it wasnt an easy task.
During the day and nights workload I saw one car slide into a stationary car and shunt that one into another car. The first car was going very slow but it caused a lot of damage.
Later on in the night I had to rescue one of our drivers and her passengers as they had become stuck on ide at the top of a steep road. I went to their assistance and got stuck myself but with the help of neighbours who had seen what was going in and come out to help we managed to get some Rock Salt" on the road and get a grip and drive to a safe place
All in all a busy night but an eventful one as well. All the customers were understanding and very patient and all worked out ok in the end.
Just hope that it doesnt last and we can get back to normal soon.
