Arrrgh...Drive tomorrow or Wednesday? Advice?
Ok, I have to drive 1.5 hours each way to see my Mom. I'm supposed to go tomorrow morning, but we have a high wind/heavy rain advisory for a lot of the State. I really don't feel comfortable driving in those conditions, as I think I need a new eyeglasses 'script, and heavy rain freaks me out, and our wipers aren't in awesome shape.

So, I could drive on Wednesday, but I won't be leaving until about 1pm, and traffic will in all likelihood be horrific. x(

What to do? I won't be able to go on T-Day, so it's one or the other.

Anyone? :hi:

1. My dear bi_baby...
You know, I would go earlier, since that would give you more time...

Tomorrow, that is...

How long are you going to stay?

Are you just going for one day?

Wish I could give you better advice...

:hug:

I'm really leaning towards Wednesday, and I usually trust my gut.

9. Yeah, I'll be on Rt 2, LOTS of trees.
And they're talking about lots of branches coming loose.

I can handle being at 10 mph for a brazillion miles far better than high winds, rain, etc.

3. You live in Mass right?
I would get out of there tomorrow. You really don't want to be stuck in traffic all day wednesday.

14. Yep, it was 38 in Dorchester when I drove home, and it's
41 in Qz now. That ain't right.

I just checked the NOAA page. Yep, I'm not going anywhere tomorrow. No way.
