On Such a Winter’s Day!
Egads! I took Michelle to college today and as we were going along, the snow, which had just begun, began coming down harder and harder! After dropping Michelle off, I went to WalMart for a few minutes, then decided to go to the City Pier.
I giggled out loud as I noted two huge trucks parked roadside, with new toys boats for he 2010 boating season. (Not looking so probable at the moment!!!)
Once I got back on the roads to drive home, conditions degraded as I drove!
This is the road I turned on to head up our hill!
I have to admit that I was ready to bend down and kiss the ground upon arriving safely home! I haven’t driven in such poor conditions in years! Since the snow came so rapidly, the plows weren’t really able to clean the roads fast enough!
Yesterday, I was thinking about how unusual it is that we had no snow! Just a couple of days ago, we had rain, rain, and more rain! Now, the weather forecast is calling for blasts of Arctic air and snow.
When I got home, the snow stopped after awhile and the sun even poked out. I got to thinking the worst was now behind us. Then, as I began writing this entry, this….
Oh, hibernation sounds sooo enticing right now. But realistically, our Michelle is sixteen miles from home, and someone will have to pick her up in a few hours!

Isn’t it a relief that she isn’t driving herself in this? The wind is howling here and I have a loose window that I need to fix. It’s driving me nuts. Is it really windy there?
Were you dreming of California? ….
Looks interesting…
That should of course have read ‘dreaming of California’.
I’d be safe and warrrr-mmmm,
If I was in L. A.
Cali-forn-ya dreaming,
On such a winter’s day!!!

Not too sure how *safe* one is in LA, actually! I thought about that song, too. But you know, I wasn’t sure the music enjoyed here many years ago was shared in the UK or not!!! Gosh….The Mamas and the Papas….that is really going back a ways, eh?
