Good and not-so-good timing
Dec. 1st, 2007 03:01 pmIn the good timing department, I got my leaves raked before the snow started.
In the not-so-good timing, I had to drive home from the grocery store (no emergency, just a regular run) in the first blush of the snow. You know, the "slicker then snot" layer. Fortunately, I was able to take the back road and avoid most of the "OMG iz snowz - haz drive 5 miles / hour" folks. El hybrid handled the snow as expected - typical response of a front-wheel-drive vehicle.
Since this snow is supposed to change to rain, ice, sleet and back again, I decided to pick up a Home Run Inn pizza and eat in tonight.
