When I woke yesterday morning a little past 7, I had yet to peek out the window when the telephone rang. I knew it was E. Always the über-industrious one, he's often at work in the first half of the six o'clock hour. He was warning me about the treacherous road conditions. The snow was falling fast and in thick sheets. Joy! He had been sitting in traffic for an hour and a half -- only to make it 10 miles from our house. Un-joy.
So, traffic is a plague on this region; it can't dampen my love of winter! And anytime snow falls and accumulates BEFORE the holidays -- what a treat! I must be one of only five or six people from the entire state of Louisiana who truly enjoy winter, happily anticipating the first freeze as early as September each year. Which is why I enjoyed Norway as much as I did, I'm sure.
Yesterday's drive into Baltimore did prove to be somewhat challenging though. Due to my injured toe, I decided to drive the Montero (which is an automatic) into work. Bad decision. The new car is much easier to control on slippery roads. But, the bean and I made it unscathed to the office. The muscles in my back and shoulders were indeed screaming by the time I pulled into the garage, but the snow was worth it!
The majority of it will no doubt have disappeared by tomorrow afternoon, but even a brief appearance is a treat.
