"Sadly, people lose their lives on days like today."
That wasn't what I wanted to hear from a radio talk show host as I drove home on snow-covered roads this morning. The host advised everyone not to travel, if it all possible, and to stay in one's vehicle when getting stuck on the road. The "people lose their lives" comment was intended for anyone who would get out of a vehicle and walk for help or assist a stranded motorist.
That's sound advice, but I don't like being reminded how perilous driving in bad weather is while I'm in it. Next time, I think I'll just listen to music.
