I’ve had another blog post planned for the last two weeks, but the abundance of work has kept me from doing the research that is still required for it. In lieu of that serious post, here is one about today.

After a short night, I woke up to get started early. Some time later I looked at the bathroom curtains and realized they were much brighter than they should be for an overcast day. Cue someone opening the curtains. Moments later I strode outside (barefoot) to take a picture of my truck:

But this was only the beginning! I had four places to go in the afternoon, and it kept snowing.

Each stop took longer than it should have so I got back around 11 PM. It turns out to be a great time to be driving on icy roads because there are fewer people to hit. Only kidding. My truck hardly slid at all. The bridge was nice and smooth.

I suppose that isn’t too bad for the first time driving in (light) snow? Yes, I’m an amateur. However, the next time friends offer to teach me how to drive in snow – with snow around – I might take them up on it. The ice is fun.

Tonight’s casualties? The windshield wiper blades are done for. It’s a good thing they needed to be replaced anyway.
