Watch for It

We watch for the big things, yet it is the little things that trip us up. The east coast has been bracing for the largest snow storm in recorded history. In the D.C. area we knew that the blizzard would arrive on Friday and continue until Sunday. Yesterday, (Thursday) we heard around 11:00a that a smaller snow storm would begin around 6:00p and continue until midnight. That did happen and it brought with it less than one inch.  But the crazy thing was that it immobilized the area. There had been no pretreating of the streets and ice had accumulated under the light snow. I suppose that everyone was waiting on Friday.

Isn't that like us? We try to prepare for the large problems but allow the small ones to slip up on us.
We miss the small stuff and it is usually the small stuff that hurts the worse. Yes, prepare for the big storms but do not dismiss the small things. enough for now.
