Well. Based on
yesterday’s post, some of you may be saying “Be careful what you wish for”. I say, “My wish came true!” I woke to a foot of snow outside. Another foot fell this morning. So we've got two feet of the white stuff
surrounding phattire headquarters today.
Unfortunately, the weather is quite warm and our precipitation has now
changed to sleet and rain. Pity. As such, it’s a damned good thing Debbie and
I put the shovels to work early this morning before this nasty stuff fell and
made it a hell of a lot harder. Our
driveway is clear and lined with nice tall banks of snow. I love how it looks.
As usual, when we get nasty snow and ice I like to take the
Tacoma out and see how bad things are.
After shoveling, and a bagel & coffee, we hopped in the Taco and
explored. The roads in our neck of the
woods (the boonies) were not plowed but the truck pushed right through it in
4WD. I’m so glad I put mud tires on this
truck. At one point we were blasting
through 3’ of drift snow, common on our roads that meander through open
fields. I’m glad to know that even in
this snow; the truck will still get us where we need to go, if we need to
go.
Oh, I almost forgot; work was cancelled today. “Snow day!”
So I got some more reading in. I really
love this Kenneth Roberts book:
Arundel. Though, most schools
have already closed, I’m sure I will be back to work tomorrow.
