Day 6

Going back to work today after 3 days off. Picked up The Boy on Saturday and did some shopping to stock up on food items. Had a nice impromptu holiday dinner with the landlords on Sunday. By Monday we were all stir-crazy, so we went out shopping. Let me just say here that there are a lot of idiots driving around out there. Almost none of the roads around our place were sanded or plowed yet, but people were out there in their light weight economy cars with no chains, sliding all over. And people do the stupidest things driving and walking in this weather. Dr. T has 4wd and his truck does pretty well in the snow. Some guy decided to walk across the street when against a red light right in front of us. Dr. T attempted to slow and the guy got the hint when we started fishtailing--but of course he ran across anyway. :P

Update: The Boy is sledding with his cousin today. I only have to work 11:30-5, which gives him just enough time to hang out for a while. Dr. T dropped him off and I drove little car to work. I hardly slipped at all--the most dangerous bit of my journey was behind a light weight car where the driver kept stepping on the brakes. It is ok to go slow, but brakes are for stopping at lights, not slowing down in the snow. I will pick up the boy after work and hang out with my brothers and step dad tonight.

Best get back to work. There are a lot of people in here today!

More pictures of the winter wonderland on their way.
