First Winter Blast

Looks like we'll get our first real blast of the season tonight. It's snowing like crazy. Up to 6 inches by most estimates. Glad I don't have far to drive to work.

I got a kick out of Babs' entries yesterday about the sleet and freezing rain in Dallas. It's hard to remember that they don't have the equipment to deal with it there. Here, it's just another bump in the morning drive. The plows will clear the bulk in the early morning and the big orange "saltshakers" will do their magic to take care of the rest. . . A few thousand tons of salt and we're back in business.

Like anywhere, the stores were selling out of bread and milk tonight. I get a kick out of that too, since I use almost no milk and a loaf of bread will last two weeks for me (I have to freeze it to keep it from going bad).

The local news stations are all starting up at 4:30 AM instead of 5:30 to "Help us cope." It's snow for Pete's sake!!!. . . Leave early, take your time and watch out for the Super Soccer Mom's in their Explorers, Durangos and other SAVs (Soccer-Mom Assault Vehicles), since they have 4-wheel drive and think they are unstopable (is that a word??). . . Until they miss that corner and end up in the ditch LOL!!!

Winter in Motown is SOOOOOOOO much fun!!!! NOT!!!

HUGGSS!!
