Pansies

I know it's because I am from Utah, NORTHERN Utah, but really. People here are total pansies.
We've been having warnings for the past few days that today would be icy!!! Watch out! There could be ICE! So when we looked outside this morning there was indeed ice on the cars, ground-up salty ice on the pavement and rain falling.
Well, I HAD a doctor appointment scheduled for this morning. I got ready to go, Zach so sweetly scraped the ice off the windshield (really, I've done this here before, it takes all of 5 minutes- tops, they even sell windshield scrapers at the local stores, imagine that), and I drove off to my appointment. The radio was talking about school closures, no surprise, they close for *possible* ice or snow, or heck, any kind of precipitation.
I pulled up to a meter, popped in two quarters and took the elevator to the second floor. And the door to the office was locked. Other offices were open. No, not all but some, and the pharmacy downstairs was open too. I called my doctors number, was sent to an answering service. I just wanted to complain, so I did.
She informed that yes, they are closed. Maybe the roads were bad and they wanted to come in but couldn't make it, and they must not have any patient information at home. I'm sorry, you'll just have to reschedule on Monday.
So I guess I learned my lesson. Even though my doctors staff called me yesterday to confirm my appointment and make sure I would be there, they decided it was just too hard to scrape off their cars and get to work. Never mind informing the patients about it.
So yeah. The roads are wet, the ice is slushy and everyone has the day off.
Pansies.
You would think this weather is a novelty, an extreme. Nope, every winter it gets icy and snowy.
