Getting to work can be difficult at times. Traffic can be a bear. The weather can be a problem. I spent a lot of winters in the Syracuse and Oswego, New York areas so I know a lot about driving in the winter. Almost always, the worst part about driving in the winter is dealing with other drivers on the road that have no clue about driving in the winter. It is actually considered a winter sport by some----something that makes winter and going to work during the winter somehow worth it. But that is whole other story for another time. The other day I was driving to work----to an inspection----when I came upon a road sign I had never seen before. It gives us another difficulty to add to the list. Maybe if I was a fisherman I might keep track of the Tide Tables----but driving to a home inspection?

PS, for those of you that are new to my blog (or for some other "unexplained" reason have never noticed)
all pictures and smiley-face inserts (emoticons) (when I use them) have messages that show up when you point at them with your cursor.
My WORDLESS WEDNESDAY pictures and some selected POEMS & STORIES.
OMG, that is too funny. Wow, can't believe you lived up state - that Lake effect is a killer.
Charles: Is it time for you to buy the amphibian vehicle? I look forward to your post about the Syracuse driving - so close to my home. Have already put the winter tires on the car. Be Prepared.
Just one more tool to add to your box.... a snorkel!!!
Did that get your Speedo all in a wad?
Just sayin'...
Add some fishing tackle and a pole to your tool box and you'll be all set!
Hmm, much cheaper to use a sign and move the road I guess
Good morning Charles...As a Pennsylvania resident, I can identify with your second paragraph...But, on another note, I've seen signs like this in Cape Hatteras and experienced it several times myself...It's an odd feeling when you encounter it...Enjoy the day.
We are the home of strange road signs here in Washington State Charles.
Maybe you need to talk to Paul about getting a kayak.
Why worry. The tide will go out, twice a day. Slow down and enjoy yourself.
Charlie,
We have enough areas that have, historically, flooded around here that I see that one quite a bit. One night I was driving out by Marietta, near the river, and came across said sign right after my tires entered about a foot of water. I turned around, no clue how bad it might have gotten.
Charles, hope you had your life vest handy. Never know when that tide will carry you away
OMG, so funny! I have a picture of a sign that says "tank crossing" lol!
Charles, I've not seen a sign like that in my travels - be careful & watch for that tide!
Hey Charlie! So what did you do? Heed or ignore the sign? ( Or was there not much water over the roadway?)
That's different. I have never seen a sign warning me about water over the road, I have found before the water, but not the sign.
Oh goodness, you're a braver man than I. I would probably reschedule and find out the tide times just to be on the safe side. LOL
Why can't people just enjoy driving without all these hidden danger signs? They take all the fun out of just tooling along aimlessly.
Personally, I am betting you floored it, and hung your head out the window to catch some of the spray!
Which whoop did you use?
Debbie, yup---close to 20 years
Valerie, I am sure they will come out in time
Fred, that would come in handy for house boats too
Jay, now that would not be comfortable
Jason, or a fishing boat on the trailer
Janice---or build a bridge
Ernie, yes for sure-----lots of low roads on the cape
Paul, is that a sign?:)
Cynthia, I am sure he has one I could borrow----but will it hold a 32 ft ladder?
Glenn, for sure----will do----always a hoot to road trip to Whidbey
Steve, there is something just plain wrong about seeing the roadway covered in water
Elizabeth----in some areas the tide can be very strong
Chris, I will take the water :)
Susan---in Texas?
Debi, I was there at the right time of day----no high water in sight
Jim, I have as well----perhaps the sign was missing
Joe, If there had been water on the road I would have gone around another way
Lizette, we are fast becoming a society of warnings
Jay, I think you have the right image----it is just that the water wasn't there to do it
From the other posts you've written since, seems you've got out alive! :-)
Well it is the wet, oh I mean west coast!
Carla, for sure----timing is everything :)
Debra, :)
Now I know why we should keep crab pots in the trunk at ALL times!
Stacey, I never would have thought of that :)
