Mainly very cold here (-20 C)...just had about 11 inches of snow on top of what had melted/dissolved the day before when it hit a balmy 9 C with rain. Now it's hard to tell what is soft snow and what is frozen slippery ice that looks like snow.

Walking is especially tricky. I'm very used to driving in bad weather, but some days it's just not worth beating the daylights out of the car, or, risking getting hit by a driver who hasn't learned to slow down. Then there are the hot-doggers who can't wait to go ripping around in their 4-wheel drive pickups and SUV's, not realizing that although their vehicle can get better traction pulling away, it isn't any better than a regular car when it comes to stopping on really slippery roads.

oh oh...just looked out the window...more snow.

Ah well...it is WINTER after all.
