(UPDATED) National News - Accident 36 Car pile up in Rochester, NY
I was sleepy, and had just closed my eyes when I heard the name of my city on the National news. "Rochester, NY, 30 plus car pile up." My eyes opened wide, I went to the internet. I am reading about it now with tears in my eyes. You can read about the accident in the links. This is a terrible tragedy!
Roads, and side walks are still very icy with snow covering them from our last storm. We had high winds today, white outs. A very dangerous mix.
My heart goes out to my neighbors. My thoughts, and prayers will be with those injured, family's of the injured and dead, and the other survivors.

We had the strangest weather down here in the lower part of NY yesterday. It doesn't surprise me that it was a rough and tragic day upstate. Always sad to learn of things like this.
Good to see you Deb! Thanks for your comment. I hope that if you have time that you will read my post "Therapy and Me". It's right up your ally! I would love to hear your 2 cents on it, or 4 cents, or 6 cents. I'm still trying to figure out if therapy is for me.
What a tragedy! Prayers to the injured for a speedy recovery.
Welcome eastcoastlife!
Thank you for your kind words, and your prayers.
HI.. I feel so bad when I hear news like this.. lives changed in a bad storm. The roads were like this in Michigan too and over 50 cars involved. I just pray for them all.. Hope things get better soon for us all. : )
Hi Caroldee,
It's always a pleasure to see you! I have heard of other accidents around the same time. It has turned out to be a difficult winter. I hope that groundhog puxatony phil was wrong, and that winter is almost over.
