SNOWY SUNDAY

It was an exciting morning.

I woke up to a snow-covered landscape.

This kind of excitement, I like 😊

5 AM
Pretty frosted trees ...

I made it out of the Park, and to the coffee shack without a mishap.

The country had not cleared the roads yet; 8:30 AM

Driving ocean Beach Highway, there were a lot of hot-dogging-idiots on the roads, who obviously had burned a toke-smoke with their morning coffees ...

This kind of excitement, I do not like :-(

Finding the center of the lane was guesstimate work - and people were driving like idiots.

Hopefully they will pocket the joints until later in the day (like when they are NOT driving!), and mature pronto, before they kill someone - the highway is not the place to be making "cookies"; and icy roads are not the place to be gunning the motor and kicking the speed into high gear just to see "how the car/truck/SUV, ect., will handle it".

Ocean Beach Highway at my end, was "ify" as far as the center lines went: I eventually got off the main highway, and cut over the hill to Columbia Heights and Westside Highway; Madrona & Laurel were wet, but relatively clear (no ice) ... Columbia Heights was extremely icy.

I was driving in granny-gear, and I had the 4-wheel traction control thingee engaged: but, the backed still managed to slide on that uphill merge.

This was a bit of excitement I could have done without - but I did okay, and didn't oversteer when I felt the back tires slip.

Very ICY on Columbia Heights - lots of tail-gater’s, too.

However, the County should have had that road cleared. Is the County THAT short-handed with cleanup crews?????

Normally early-morning road crews would have cleared the main roadways; but since the obamanite covid program, no one is willing to do anything … but sitting on their duffs collecting DC “free” $$$$$.

Thank God, Bob was an excellent driver: and I learned from him, how to drive in the snow, on icy roads.

I made my destination – and back home again – without a smash-up mishap 😊

The rest of the day will be spent watching snow flurries, drinking flavored coffee, and watching movies while working on knitting projects.

Flurries picking up at home. Some flakes as large as a quarter.
Snow accumulation just since I've parked the car & entered the house ...
Current knitting project.
