It's been snowing since before 9:00 this morning. Big, fat, fluffy poofs of snow. It goes in streaks. Sometimes the pace is so strong I can't see the trees across the parking lot. Sometimes it looks like it's about to stop. The weather guessers have said 1 inch. Well so far they're about 3 inches off target.
I went to the store early, before 8:00 to be sure that if it did ice over, I would have provisions. Since I'm going to have house help this week, I drew $50.00 in change. I got to gabbing with the check out girl and left the store without my cash. (Nothing new - I seem to have all the luck that way). I called the store and that particular girl was due for a break at 9:00 and they would pull her drawer at that time. Around 10:30 they called me to tell me that indeed she was over and I could claim my loot at any time.
I waited and waited thinking the snow would stop but it's just kept on coming, so drawing on my driving experience in Wisconsin, I went out in the snow. Of course it was no problem. My Avalon has the most wonderful breaking system. When it senses that I'm slipping, it takes control of the car and alternates the brakes to keep me from skidding. This is the first time I've driven in snow with this car and I must say, I'm impressed. The Toyota engineering on this one is great. As I was driving out of the neighborhood I was almost breathless at the winter beauty around me. All of the trees and bushes are covered with the big pillows of snow. I took a different route coming home to avoid the stop signs in the neighborhood and I drove through a wooded area and it was gorgeous. What a time to be without my camera. I could have won a prize.
I know it's a useless hope, but I hope it keeps this stuff up and that the feds close down their offices tomorrow. I could use another 3 day weekend. :o)
God bless you all.
